The cliff is certainly steep enough, but there are no visible signs of someone’s death anymore.

Hav woke up in his bed.
Avatar
I wake up. Another morning. I look out my window and see the city from my apartment. I have the same thought I have every morning—thousands of people are also waking up now. The city is called Avengard, and I'm not entirely sure why. I think about Shelk, the other city to the south of Avengard. Why are these two cities separate? This is the type of thing that the citizens of Avengard and Shelk are forced to ponder every day, I'm sure. It's Tuesday. Another day that I, as the owner of Kerloe Fishery, must work. This is good, because I get to make money, which helps me survive. Tuesdays aren't quite as interesting as Mondays, as they are unrelated to Carlfield the cat, who is known for hating Mondays specifically. Tuesdays are a normal day, like all the others. What do Tuesdays do to stand out? Nothing. Tuesdays are, honestly, a failure of a day. I look towards the fish tank that I keep in my room. I then look towards the fish food tube placed next to it. I place my hand onto the tube's lid, and unscrew it. This process opens the tube, allowing the fish food within to exit the tube freely. It's interesting to note how, in the ocean, fish food doesn't exist. Fish simply must eat whatever is available to them. It's incredible how they are able to know what it is to eat, and they are blessed with the ability to access that at any time. When humans eat fish, we have to prepare them, make sure they are made in the right way. It's a process that is dedicated to taking the fish's existence and distilling it down to a "meal". The irony in that is that the fish themselves must be fed first with food of their own. Humans can't eat fish food. Why not? What's the problem with it? If the food goes into the fish, and the fish goes into us, then... This doesn't make sense at all. I stare at the open tube of fish food. I then pick it up and pour the contents of it into my mouth, and swallow.
3:39 PM
((if nothing happens to me after I eat the fish food, I will continue))
Avatar
Unsurprisingly, this tastes awful.
Avatar
Surprisingly, the fish food tastes awful. Is this what the fish go through? Is this what humans force them to eat? This torture is what they must go through, sitting in tanks, consuming the most vile food imaginable, until their death? A death that dooms them to be food themselves. What a beautiful existence. Fish know what they are. They know they must eat to survive. They know that continuing to survive is a thing they must do. At the same time, they live in complete ignorance. They have nothing to compare themselves to, no way of knowing how much better it could be. I realize that, since I have swallowed all of the fish food, I don't have any fish food left to feed the fish with. This is bad. I must feed the fish. If I do not feed the fish, they will die. I cannot simply let the fish die. I'm not hungry, and it would be a waste. I've already introduced a live fish to the people yesterday, so they must understand. Doing it again would be pointless. I'm not sure what to do. ... It hits me. I will buy more fish food. I've figured out the solution to this dilemma. I exit the bedroom, satisfied that such an elegant solution to all of my problems has shown itself to me.
4:50 PM

Avatar
Nothing happens to Hav after he exits his room.
Avatar
I enter the second of the three rooms in my apartment, that I affectionately call the "fish room". The reason for this is because, contained within the room, are several fish tanks, each with several fish inside them. More fish that will suffer for my carelessness in swallowing all the fish food if I do not take action quickly. I always feed all of the fish every morning. Not doing so is very dangerous. I shouldn't do things like this, or soon enough everything will fall apart. The fish room, the room in which I feed the fish, is traditionally known as the "kitchen". The fact that it's used to cook does not make the "fish room" label any less accurate, as the only foods I cook and eat in this room are various types of fish. I then enter the restroom, which contains the toothbrush. I brush the remaining fish food flakes out of my teeth, taking note that this activity is important even if I don't begin the day by eating fish food. After turning on the water, rinsing the toothbrush, and turning the water off, I exit the bathroom. Then, I take the keys, and exit the apartment.

I exit the apartment and lock the door behind me. This is an important precaution to take, as if I did not do this, someone could enter and steal my fish. I then walk towards the stairs. I take these instead of the elevator, because I like stairs. People typically take the elevator rather than the stairs, and I'm not sure why. Stairs are simply superior in every way. I open the door to the stairwell and walk inside.

Huh, it's the old man from yesterday. This reminds me of the letter I sent to John David—I better check my mailbox when I reach the lobby to see if I have received a reply. I ignore the old man and attempt to walk past him, going down the stairs, towards the lobby.
Avatar
"Ah, you’re the one from yesterday. Could I ask you a favour?"
Avatar
A favor? That can't be good. I begin to weigh my options. Denying the favor is, of course, what I want to do. I need to get to the fish store, buy fish food, feed my fish, then go to work to sell fish. These things are very important, and I don't have much time to spare, considering I must open the fish store at a certain time. However, this could cause further altercations with the man, which I desperately want to avoid. It seems that, unfortunately, the ideal course of action at the moment is to agree to the favor. Looking at what else he said, he recognized me and described me as "the one from yesterday". This implies that I am not the only one, and there are "ones" from other days as well, not only yesterday. I'm glad that, if this is the case, my day is Monday, the day of Carlfield. It could have been a lot less interesting. "Yes."
Avatar
"Thanks." He pulled up an image of a blond girl on his phone. "If you see this girl, call me. Don’t talk to her or anything."

I don't have a phone, so it is impossible for me to call him, but I suppose he doesn't need to know that. I nod and continue walking down the stairs. I'm not sure how he expects me to call him if I don't know his phone number, but once again, this is pointless to worry about.

Hav arrives at the lobby.
Avatar
As I enter the lobby, I consider what he said. He wants me to call him if I see this girl. Additionally, he told me not to talk to her. This is a silly request, as I would never talk to anyone unprompted, but he doesn't know that. It's unfortunate that not everyone views the world this way. Talking to someone without a reason can only go badly. If there's no reason to do something, then you shouldn't do it. It's quite simple, but humans insist on creating connections where there are none, at great risk to themselves. Perhaps the old man is some sort of police officer, and the phone woman is a criminal. This seems like a reasonable possibility. She could also be a missing person, but if that was the case I doubt he'd have included the stipulation that she shouldn't be spoken to. That said, he did make particular note of seeing me yesterday. Perhaps my interest in Carlfield gave him specific reason to seek me out again? He was in the lobby before, and is in the stairwell today. Most people don't take the stairs. I'm not sure how he could have known I would be taking the stairs, though, unless he followed me. I can't seem to come to a conclusion about his intentions at the current moment. All I know for sure is that he is looking for the woman, wants me to tell him if I see her, and wants to make sure I don't talk to her. His description of me as "the one from yesterday" seemed especially noteworthy, but I can't seem to figure out why yet. I'll have to keep this information in mind. I use my eyes to examine the lobby. Are there any people in the lobby?

Unfortunately, the mailbox contains nothing. It is unrealistic for me to expect John David to respond immediately, however I am still a bit disappointed. I close the mailbox and lock it using the same key that I used to open the mailbox. I then walk through the door in the lobby that leads outside of the apartment complex. (edited)

[inner monologue, don't read until after a good while] I take note of the person in a white suit whose face is completely obscured (with the exception of eyes) by bandages who is standing outside the hotel. What a strange appearance for a person to have. I suppose it makes sense, as appearance is generally irrelevant, and making your appearance indecipherable changes very little beyond preventing society's standards from being applied to you. However, it could be said to backfire as well. One who makes themselves appear in such an indecipherable manner will naturally attract even more attention than the average person, being examined and criticized for their desire to be different by disregarding a meaningless sense of individuality. There's a simple way to explain this. Let's imagine you have two different species of fish—one brown, and one gray. A trout and a salmon. Both can be eaten, and both taste like fish. The tastes are distinct to anyone experienced with fish, however, would anything really change if they looked identical? I doubt it. People would barely notice that the two are actually different types of fish. Humans are the same. Take away our flesh, muscles, organs, and everything else, and we are left as simple skeletons. This is what happens to a corpse. Everything disappears, degrading into nothingness. Underneath it all, we're impossible to tell apart. You cannot determine a person's identity by their skeleton. A person's "true form" is one that removes all of their individuality. This person in front of me is embracing that. Very respectable. However, I have no time to dawdle over them. ((The fish store is east and the pet store is west I'm deciding that now hopefully that is fine lmao)) I ignore the mysterious person and attempt to walk past them, heading to the west. (edited)

Lelouch POPS up out of bed, skips her daily habit of staring at her posters on the ceiling, and lifts up her arms in a way that looks like a yawn, but it's not actually a yawn it's a pose that resembles that of happiness and excitement. Almost like those greeting cards that have children on them saying YIPPEE! Finally, it's the awaited day where she can see both Maria AND Sophie (ignore the fact that this is every day). Feels like it's been years.

She then picks up her phone, opens up the infamous Twitter app, and starts spamming gifs on her main account.

I go to the 10% of the store's wares that is for pets that are fish and take exactly five cans of fish food. I walk to the counter and place the fish food cans on the counter in front of whoever is at the counter, clearly indicating my intention to buy the items.
Avatar
It costs 8$ each.
Avatar
I take out my wallet and quickly do the math in my head since the cashier, for whatever reason, did not do so. Eight times five is 40, with an added 8% for the typical sales tax in the state of New York, where the city of Avengard is located. I take two 20 dollar bills, three one dollar bills, and two dimes from my wallet and hand them to the cashier without saying a word.

The cashier takes the bills and scans the cans to confirm them.

[inner monologue] Huh. What's going on? I should get out of here soon. This doesn't seem safe. More importantly, the fish need to be fed. The old man is here. What's he doing? If my theory from before that he is a police officer of some sort holds true, then that must mean that bandaged, white suit person is a criminal. The old man has shot them in the shoulder, which seems painful. It's... honestly disturbing. That beautiful bandaged person is a symbol of acceptance, and desecrating that perfect form with a gunshot is a horrible thing to do. At least have the decency to kill them in a single shot. I feel tempted to intervene, and help the bandaged person. However, I immediately realize that I cannot do this. These three and their altercation are like three fish in one of my fish tanks. They are beyond me. Whatever the result, it doesn't matter. Just because one of them knows the truth of their existence doesn't mean they are any less separate from the rest of the world. There are infinite tanks, with infinite fish. I will stay in my own. There are no other fish in my tank, and I absolutely cannot let this change, no matter what desires may come. I ignore whatever is happening and attempt to walk towards the door in the lobby that leads to the stairs. ((For note, I am currently carrying five cans of an unspecified item, balancing them stacked on top of each other. This is important.))

I take the keys out of the keyhole, then close the door behind me and lock it, all while balancing the cans with my left hand. I lock the door, despite not planning on spending much time at all in the apartment, because the idea of someone breaking in and attempting to steal the fish is unsettling. I then set the cans on the counter of the room that I call the "fish room", because of all the fish in it. Typically, this would be called the "kitchen", but I think "fish room" is a more accurate moniker. "Kitchen" is such a strange word. I wonder what its origin is. It tells you absolutely nothing about the type of room it describes. The world would be greatly improved if everyone put fish in their kitchen, then changed the name of the room from "kitchen" to "fish room". It would be a far more informative descriptor. The presence of fish would also allow humans to become far more attuned to the reality of existence, creating a world that has far less conflict. There are already fish populating kitchens all throughout the world—simply to be consumed, rather than to live. Instead of being life themselves, they sustain the life of other organisms. I don't see much of a difference here. I take one of the cans and unscrew the cap. I remove the protective film and place it in the trash. I then pour the requisite amount of food into each of the three fish tanks. I then have a brilliant flash of inspiration. I walk into the bedroom, open the window, and pour a bit of the fish food out of it. Perfect. First fish, now fish food. Through these simple actions, the world will improve. Perhaps, by some miracle, the fish food will land in the mouth of a person below. How incredible would that be? I want to believe it's true. We all eat fish food all the time, just in different forms. This will allow someone to come closer to waking up to this reality. One step at a time. I close the window, screw the cap back on the can, walk back to the fish room and place the can in a cabinet. I then take the rest of the cans and place them in the same cabinet. Afterwards, I unlock the door, walk out of the apartment, and use the keys to lock the door behind me. (edited)

I walk down the stairwell, back to the lobby. The thought of the lobby reminds me of the altercation that I witnessed before. They could still be there. Do I want that? I'm not sure. A part of me seems to desire more information, which is only natural. More information will allow me to more effectively avoid these people in the future. A small price to pay for a greater benefit. Then, I realize. It doesn't matter what I want. I can't control whether they are still there or not. I can't worry about these pointless things. I open the door to the lobby and enter it.

[inner monologue] I'm caught off-guard by the familiar figure's interjection. I don't have a choice here, do I? They need help. Last time, I neglected to provide any, but this time I will not make the same mistake. This is how interaction should be, isn't it? I have no idea who this person is. They have no idea who I am. This is only natural, because the fact that we'd typically think of as "who we are" is irrelevant. They are in danger, and I am the only thing that can help them stay alive. I can provide an avenue for them to continue existing. Normally, I wouldn't care about this, but this person's existence has clear inherent value. Because of this, I decide that I will interact. "Calm down. What's wrong?"

"I'm bleeding!"
Avatar
[inner monologue] Is that the only problem? If so, I'm a bit disappointed. This is easily fixable, and my presence is unnecessary. Is this person new to the city of Avengard? They asked where they were, so presumably that is the case. If so, what are they doing here? How did they end up being shot by that old man, Gus? There are a lot of questions, and I feel as if several of them can be resolved, but it's difficult to focus with this person in front of me. I should get rid of them. Having someone like this walk throughout the streets can only be a good thing, anyway. "There's a hospital nearby, go there."

[inner monologue] I have no idea where the nearest hospital is, and I don't know how I would find out. I should send this person in some direction and hope to not run into them again. That seems like the easiest method for getting rid of them. There's no problem here, their pain is irrelevant. Compared to the taste of fish food, being shot in the shoulder is nothing.

Just another day... at least we're some ways through the week. Sam turns off the alarm, then he proceeds to prepare for school, then goes downstairs for breakfast. The usual, really. Not much else he can do right now. (edited)

Avatar
She’s noticeably absent.

Presumably, Stan is also absent as well. Sam says "Morning." as promised anyway, except to no one in particular and more out of force of habit. Then he prepares something simple for himself. I mean, there's been days where she's been absent at this time in the past, right? Usually for court case preparation, or something similar. ...I probably shouldn't think too much of it. Unless she left a note somewhere. That happens sometimes as well. Probably best not to think too long about this, I'll just see if there's anything. Sam finishes eating quickly, then checks the house for any notes.
Avatar
Nothing.

Guess not... I'll just go. Sam checks the other exit of the house anyway, then tries to leave through the front door and locks it behind him if nothing is wrong.

Though, actually... didn't I set an alarm for the day? On second thought, did it even happen? Sam checks the time on his phone again to be sure, and compares it to when he's supposed to be at school.
Avatar
It’s about 2 hours too early.
Avatar
Well, I guess I have 2 hours to kill. It's been forever since I've woken up this early. What do people even do at this time, anyway? Sam checks his notes from yesterday, trying to figure out what to do. I'm not really up for doing homework right now, and I can only do the worst assignment after school. Or I could even investigate the café. I said I would, though honestly I've forgotten why I wanted to in the first place. ...Maybe I should just walk around some more. Perhaps I'll come across someone who knows something? Or I'll think about the project idea I had earlier. It's a bit early, but... I don't think it matters. Since he has the time, Sam goes back into the house to double-check that he didn't miss anything, and otherwise exits and locks the door. (Again.) (edited)
Avatar
There really are no notes. Where is he headed?
Avatar
Sam goes outside and just walks around the city, ignoring the fact that it is early. I probably have enough time to address everything I've been thinking about, so let's go through them. What was it? The project, then the café, then... that's probably it. First, the project. Let's go over the steps. I was trying to make some sort of game or whatever. I have looked into some amount of programming after Ms. Stanley rambled to me about it more than once, but that's besides the point. I was thinking that most games ever are basically the same, because most of them just don't stand out at all. They're all the same, with similar mechanics, win conditions, and so on. So I would say the best type of game is one which has at least something memorable to it. Maybe some unique mechanic, or a unique character, or something else. I'm sure the former would require much more effort on the programming side than I'm willing to think about, so I went with the second. ...Maybe I'm just writing a story? I don't know. Anyway, after deciding I should take that route, what was the next step? I probably should've written this all down at some point, but I think that gets in the way of the creative process. I should definitely figure out something in regards to the story. The problem with that as well is that every idea anyone could've had for a character has already been done as well, which is why I haven't been interested in stories for a long time. This is why tropes exist, probably. They're the same as game genres, as well as genres for anything else. Or types of science. Am I even getting anywhere with this? I came up with most of the details I just reviewed a few days ago, so really I haven't made any progress at all. Maybe asking someone about it would help. I'll come back to this later. Not much else more I can come up with on this point for now. (edited)
3:33 PM
The second thing. That café. The dinosaur costume guy mentioned some guy named... what was it? I'm sure it started with W. ...Maybe it'll come to me later. Now that I think about it, isn't it strange? All those guys with the 9 suits... they had to have been filming something. But for what purpose? It's nothing I've heard about, so they can't be that notable. I don't pay attention to movies, but I'm sure I would've heard about it from someone at school. ...That's right. I get it now. Chances are, that dinosaur guy was recording for a social media account. It's the only way that makes sense: a small-scale operation for a so-called "prank" that wasn't remotely coherent with anything else going on. Maybe that'll help me find something. Who knows, maybe I missed out on some internet trend, as always. Can't say I care much, though. Sam takes out his notebook, and writes down "search for a dinosaur costume guy online". Then he checks his phone. It probably hasn't been very long. Wow, there really is too much time to kill right now. Figures, I guess I'll check for a café. That's right, his name was Wilfred - now I remember. Actually, couldn't I search that up, too? Well, I'm not too intent on going back home to do all of that yet. I've seen a few cafés in the city. Some are probably open this early, but I've hardly ever gone to any. I know that some students like to stop by such places in the early morning, but I've never been awake early enough for that. Sam walks around the city some more, searching for any café in particular, though preferably one called "Wilfred's Café" or something along those lines.

There's probably internet here, so I can search for the dinosaur guy online, too. (edited)

It's warmer here than outside. That's to be expected, but it's still nice. ... I suppose I have to order while I'm here. Never been a huge fan of coffee or tea or anything else, though. He goes up to the café owner. "Hello, I'd like some water, if that's possible. By the way, sorry for the abrupt question, but do you happen to know a bartender named Wilfred?"
Avatar
They do not.
Avatar
"Okay, thanks." He pays for the water and finds somewhere to sit. ...Do I really have to check the internet for this? I've never been good at searching for anything online, let alone doing anything at all online. Whatever. Sam searches some popular websites like Twitter, Google (or its equivalent), and YouTube (or its equivalent) for: - "dinosaur costume guy" - "dinosaur prank" - "dinosaur costume guy and prank" - "guys with 9 on them prank" - "dinosaur costume and 9 guys" - "bartender named Wilfred" - "dinosaur costume and Wilfred" - "dinosaur costume prank and Wilfred" - "9asaurus" and hopes for something useful to come of this.

Sam discovered the Team 9 YouTube channel. They have several crossover videos with a much smaller channel called The Elusive Sentasaurus
Avatar
Nothing on Wilfred, but I got some interesting results out of the rest of the search, surprisingly. I'm starting to wonder if that was part of the prank. Maybe there is no such bartender. Also, I find this sort of "crossover" surprising. Besides the fact that two channels would willingly collaborate with each other and waste time trying to figure that out, I have no idea if they have any connections beyond these "crossovers". Why would you ever willingly work with someone without actually knowing who they are? None of this makes sense, but everything really is possible online. ...I have this information, but what now? Try to find the Team 9 location? Figure out who The Elusive Sentasaurus is? What do I even gain out of this? The novelty of what happened yesterday is definitely starting to wear off. Well, I still don't have anything better to do, and I'm making no progress on my project... Sam tries to see if Team 9 and/or The Elusive Sentasaurus have Twitter accounts linked to their channels. If he has time, he also watches a few of their videos to see if he can get a idea of the location of either, or any cafés they frequent. After all, everyone surely has some location the base themselves in, right? (edited)
Avatar
The Team 9 content mostly feels like generic clickbait designed to appeal to as many people as possible, with the exception of videos starring the Team 9 leader, Johnsfilms. He is the AG universe version of Jerma. They’re kind of all over the place in Avengard. They do have their twitters linked in the channel.
Avatar
Oh. It's clickbait. That explains a lot. Maybe this was pointless after all. That Johnsfilms guy... I've definitely heard his name mentioned in school before, but I don't know a thing about him. Probably for the best. ...Well, this confirmed everything I thought of earlier: the entire thing yesterday was a social media stunt. It's completely pointless to pursue this further, I suppose. Well, maybe The Elusive Sentasaurus guy is slightly better. Still, it probably doesn't matter. Unless... considering the incident yesterday... Sam checks the most recent videos of both channels and tries to see if he showed up at all on either. I hope I'm not in any of those videos. He also checks their twitter threads for recent posts to this end. Actually, The Elusive Sentasaurus has this "Q&A" thing. Maybe I could ask a question or two, just for the fun of it. (edited)

After some thought, I finish typing down my questions in the #deleted-channel thread. (https://discord.com/channels/959192904184778753/969316217817010246/987822094899351605) Now I wait for an answer. The first two could be informative, but the third I just threw in to see what would happen. Who knows, maybe some random dinosaur guy has opinions on some random school. I'm not really interested in interacting with Team 9, and it doesn't seem like there are any videos I'm in, thankfully, so that's probably all for now. Sam thanks the café owner, checks the time on his phone, and leaves. "...Seriously, there's still time left? This morning is going by slowly." Sam whispers this out loud to himself. It's that confusing. Anyway, he decides to walk around some more. Let's return back to that first point. Now that I think about it, in some ways, you could argue that Team 9 or the Sentasaurus guy or whoever are doing something. I've always had a problem of not actually doing much with the ideas I come up with, but it's not like any of them are particularly original. However, that may have given me an idea. At the end of the day, those channels are all fake: they're just doing things for publicity. They're not particularly interesting conceptually. Therefore, if I were to come up with a concept for my game... I think I'd want to avoid that. Any concept either fails to be interesting, as I discussed earlier, or is just totally incoherent like the Sentasaurus person. But, if instead... (edited)
5:39 PM
... ...I think I'm close to coming up with a remotely interesting idea, but I'll have to think about this more later. I don't have enough concrete answers, and I don't feel like thinking about this much more for now. You know what? Most of the people I know like Ms. Stanley or Mr. Kerloe or whoever are probably busy or asleep right now, but who knows, maybe some random person may have time right now. That's part of the reason I enjoy walking around this city so much, isn't it? Who knows, maybe someone interesting will show up. It's still early morning, so not many people are out and about, but it's worth a try. Sam spends a few minutes going nowhere in particular, then walks up to the nearest person who seems like they have nothing to do. (edited)

Well, this might be fun, and I did randomly end up here, so... Why not? "Hi, Ray- er, Kite. What brings you out here this early in the morning?"

...Seriously? I was hoping for more than just that, but I'm also surprised. Well, it's been long enough. Maybe the Sentasaurus guy responded, so it would be good if I checked that now. Also, I'd rather avoid the risk of being knocked out with the crowbar or something. "You should try it. Anyway, in light of what I just said, time is probably warped here or something, so unfortunately I'll have to escape to the real world." He tries to run away.

"Have fun in the real world!" He called out.

"Thanks, I guess." Sam checks the time for what must be the 17th time by now. Then he spends a few minutes going nowhere in particular, and again enters the next random café he can find, hoping to have internet there. Then, assuming it's not the exact same café, he repeats the process, asking the café owner if he's heard of a "Wilfred" and ordering water. Then he sits down at a table somewhere. I must look stupid right now, ordering water twice in a row in the exact same manner at two unrelated locations. I feel like the Sentasaurus right now. I should definitely avoid doing the same things over and over. (edited)

@y' so I will be blunt and honest with you, im not at right to answer these questions. I got a phone call that warned about not doing this now, idk. but rules are rules. However, I would still like to thank you for responding to me! How did you even get this twitter? I'm barely recognized. I also would like to thank you for addressing this concern about my lack of memorabilia. It could eventually change where I want to go with this ridiculous costume. And I would also like to thank you for actually going with what I wanted, even though you wont get any answers thanks to the limitations. I guess you could call this a Shaggy 'saurus Story? Preview Anyways, I've sent you an online coupon for you to use at a nearby general store to get Oreos at 50% off. Just print it out and its free to use! If theres any issues pertaining to that, please DM me again. Thank you, The Elusive Sentasaurus (edited)

I give up. Probably best not to ask about that in the future. Anyway, time to check for a response. Sam reads the tweet. (https://discord.com/channels/959192904184778753/969316217817010246/987861352322310204) Wait... how did he know that I was at the park? He mentioned the costume recommendation, so it couldn't have been a separate instance of him doing the prank. But I don't think I ever mentioned my name. Were my questions too specific? And he didn't even answer them! Also, I can't say I trust the coupon at all. If there was a coupon you could just print, it could be used an infinite number of times. Sam checks his DMs to see if there was an actual image of a coupon sent to him. If there is, he checks the coupon to see if there is some specific identification to it, and also for anything else which could be suspicious about it. If there is no image and instead a link, he doesn't click it because links are suspicious. This was seriously a waste of time after all... The initial surprise definitely doesn't make up for any of this mess.

Sam then exits the café and checks the time, after which he heads to school as normal. It should be time by now.

It is indeed mom.

...Alright. Can't wait to hear what might've happened this morning. Sam picks up. "Mom?"
Avatar
"So you’re running away now? I said you should get up on time, so you run around in the middle of the night? How immature are you?"
Avatar
"Well, I simply woke up earlier than usual, and walked around for a bit until school, which is soon. I figured you were somewhere important since you were gone early, so I just went out to school early." Now that I think about it, I forgot to consider calling completely. I probably wouldn't have even if I did think about it, so it's probably true enough. ...I should probably wait before asking where she went.
Avatar
"I was asleep, and I woke up at a reasonable time. Unlike some people, it seems."
Avatar
"Well, it's not very easy to fall asleep again after waking up, unfortunately." Did I seriously miss something? I know I forget things a lot, but there's no way I missed her twice after checking the entire house. Maybe it's just not worth pushing? Actually, who cares. I'll ask. "...Also, are you sure? I checked around the entire house twice before I left, and I don't think I saw you anywhere."
Avatar
"Are you accusing me of something? And I thought I raised a better son than this." She hung up.
Avatar
...What? I mean, I'm used to mom hanging up, but the entire situation before feels off. I guess it was simply too important to ask about. As usual. I'm not sure why I tried. Anyway, since I had to take my phone out just for this... Sam checks his phone notifications. There's one for Twitter, so he checks it. Oh, it's the Sentasaurus again. Definitely not worth responding to. He puts the phone away without responding, and continues going to school.

Sam arrived at school.

Right, I forgot to pay attention to the time when I checked my phone earlier. It definitely has to be almost time, though, right? I may even be late due to that call. Whatever... Unless someone notable shows up or anything else strange occurs, Sam just goes to class. As usual.
Avatar
Sam is now in class.
Avatar
Right, if this is the first class, it should be history again. Will it just be nonsense again? Even if it is, it'll probably be more of the same. I didn't think it was possible, but for some reason, today has been even less interesting than yesterday so far. That's probably it. It's okay, though. Just another day, I guess. ...Maybe it's just because I was up too early, so I killed too much time early on. Sam takes out his notebook, and looks around the room to see who's there. It doesn't seem like the class itself has started, so he checks the time again as well and compares it to when class is supposed to start.
Avatar
The teacher entered the class, and began giving the lesson. They wrote "Willie Howard" up on the board.
Avatar
...Maybe I was worrying too much. Anyway, looks like my prediction was right. Guess I'll just have to sit through this again. This is probably just some random guy, which is usual for history. A lot of it is like this, really. I wouldn't say that everyone sucks. There are good people, there are bad people, and I guess a lot in-between. However, a lot of the same conflicts, cycles of power, or otherwise occur over and over, just with slightly different setups each time. Chances are this guy either went and fought in a war or something, did one or two things in government which he's remembered for even if it wasn't just him, or was just some pop culture guy or whoever. Something like that. Isn't the point of history to find patterns? I mean, it's true. There are patterns. That's why there's psychology and whatever else. But that's exactly the problem. At some point, it stops being interesting. I vaguely remember a past teacher talking about contrasts and change over time and some other similar ideas, but even changes tend to fall into the same patterns eventually, I'm sure. ...By saying this, maybe I'm going in circles again. Though I think that just proves my point more than anything; it doesn't seem like I could come to any other conclusions now. Anyway, I should probably pay some attention, just in case it's necessary. The more random a topic is, the more likely it is to be tested, right? Sam pays attention for now.

"Willie L. Howard (born December 26, 1977) is a former American football defensive end in the National Football League. He was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the second round of the 2001 NFL Draft[1] and played for them for two seasons before a serious injury ended his career. He played college football for Stanford Cardinal." "He was named the head football coach at Robbinsdale Cooper High School in 2010, and he is also the dean of students.[2]"
Avatar
...Okay, the teacher is almost certainly reading a Wikipedia article again. I could probably get the same information later. If every class is going to be like this, I might as well just note down a list of the topics so far, then read them later. Wikipedia articles are probably more interesting when read at their own pace. And more efficient, considering how slow she's reading. Also, I was right, this was the third category I mentioned. Not that it matters. Sam takes more notes, which is to say he starts a new page and writes like three lines:
4:17 PM
Unfortunately, like yesterday, it's unlikely I'm going to be able to kill time in this one class. I should just get some of the homework assignment done. It's relevant to the class, so I should be fine. I'm still supposed to work on it with Sophie after school, but maybe there's something I can do right now. He then proceeds to work on the assignment more, if possible. During the lecture, of course. (edited)

"Are you seriously doing double the work?" Sophie whispered to him.

"I want to go check up on that whole... Dinosaur thing. What you do after class is up to you."
Avatar
Oh. This makes sense. It did interest me for some time, anyway. Should I tell her it's not worth looking into? Then again, she might get something out of it. That's up to her, and definitely not my problem. I would tell her to do the assignment, but I don't really have any room to argue considering I'm working on it right now, and also I spent time sidetracked on that. So, I guess I don't mind if she goes and has fun with that. There aren't really any ways I can make this more interesting for myself by interfering with this. No good reasons, at least. ...In fact, chances are she'll see the Twitter post I made earlier, and realize I had looked into this as well. I guess I can tell her that much so I don't get into much trouble, but beyond that, I'd rather not waste more time on this. I guess I should just get this out of the way. "Oh, sure then. I did get some information on that this morning as well, so here you go." I tear out a piece of paper from my notebook, and pass this information along:
5:13 PM
"Also, I didn't write it, but there was this 'Team 9' that also came up. Not sure what it's about, though." As usual, I forget to write something... if I hadn't brought it up, she probably would've asked why I asked the Sentasaurus guy that question. (edited)
Avatar
She took the paper.
5:17 PM
Class ended.
Avatar
Oh. I guess there was no time for homework today? Must've been a long lecture, which also probably means I missed something in the class. Though it's to be expected. Sam checks the board to see if anything interesting was written besides "Willie Howard".

Nothing.

...Well, if anything happened, I probably missed it. Whatever. Sam checks the current time to figure out what should happen next. (edited)
Avatar
It’s the end of the school day.
Avatar
...So, I guess Sophie is probably not going to be at the park today. Where should I go now? Now I have too much time instead of too little time. Maybe I'll walk around, find some more random people to talk to, collect my thoughts, and so on. Where is everyone? Most of the adults I know are probably still at work. I have no idea what Ray was up to earlier, but he showed up to class. Sophie, who knows. Dad, who knows. Mom is probably at home. I could visit Ms. Stanley or Mr. Kerloe. However, in the former case, she's probably still at work, and in the latter case, I'd rather wait until a reasonable dinner time. ...Now that I think about it, despite me wanting to talk to random people, there are surprisingly few people I actually know at all. That's to be expected, though; anyone who talks to too many people probably doesn't know any of them well enough. ...Speaking of Ms. Stanley, I could ask about the idea I had since I said I'd be doing something related to programming or whatever. Then again, that would be the least interesting thing I could talk about with her. Didn't I make some progress on that earlier? ...Whatever it was, I forgot. Maybe it'll come back to me later. I'll just go to her house anyway. After having to deal with Ray in the morning, I think I'd rather not run into anyone random. Barring unusual events, Sam walks to Ms. Stanley's house and knocks on the door to see if she's there anyway, though he doesn't expect her to be there. (edited)

Sam was stopped on the side of the road by men in white suits. "Are you Sam Kidink?"
Avatar
Who are these people? It's probably nothing good, and I don't know why they know my name in the first place. Actually, this happened with the Sentasaurus, didn't it? He knew my name somehow, even though I never told him at the park. Now there are some random people who know my real name. I have a few theories. First, maybe Sophie did something which got her in trouble, and now I got caught in the crossfire. If so, that could actually be of interest, but I'd rather not endanger myself in the process. Second, it could be that Mom is sending a message to me by arranging this. She could be telling me to stop wandering around, which has happened in the past, but I doubt anything on this level could be part of that. So this is unlikely. Third, I must consider that the Sentasaurus and/or team 9 simply stalked me down for no reason, or even some other random group or person. There are people like that which just want to ruin peoples' fun. Since I haven't done anything particularly special, under this theory, they probably just picked a random person or two to harass and planned this over the past few days or weeks. While I appreciate the effort to accomplish anything in some ways, I disagree with this philosophy. Forcing people into doing things simply makes those events less interesting and enjoyable.
6:30 PM
Lastly, I have to consider that Sophie was in on this and tried to get me caught for some reason. I don't know what her deal is, and I have no idea why she would do this, but if this is the case, I don't want anything to do with it. So, what can I do? Well, if I run right now, they might chase after me, so I might as well try to get information somehow. If not, then I should probably just go back to school to be safe. I should come up with something now to throw them off. "...Uh, sorry, no. Name's Ray. Can I help you? What's up? I do know Sam from my high school, but everyone's gone from there by now, y'know." Sam also checks the suits to see if they have the number 9 on them or something, and also backs away a bit to keep some distance. (edited)

"Nice try." They tried to grab onto him suddenly.
Avatar
So they know for sure. Then why bother asking in the first place? At that point, you might as well just, I don't know, try to kidnap me straight away? Anyway, I'd rather not die just because I checked some lame clickbait channel or whatever, at least if that's it. That is, I'd rather die in a more interesting way, if nothing else. "Why ask? I don't care what you want, but you could've just done this from the start." Sam decides to try and run away towards the school. Unless they're in the way of that direction, in which case he tries to go to the fish store instead because it's the next most useful location he can come up with. (edited)

Now what? I've been stuck here for a while, so chances are that way fewer people are at school now, so it's unlikely I'll accomplish much by going there. So at the moment, I think the fish store is the better location. I could also go home, but that's the last place I'd want to go. I really want to think about what happened, but I can't waste time right now. Sam continues with the modified version of his earlier plan and runs to the fish store. Unless the people in the white suits were in that direction, in which case he decides to try and run back to school anyway. Unless that also doesn't work, in which case he tries to run back home.

Well, I would prefer to talk under more relaxing circumstances... I should probably get whatever happened on my phone out of the way first, though. "Hi, Mr. Kerloe. Something happened. Would you like to hear about it? However, I do have to check my phone first, if that's fine." (edited)
Avatar
[inner monologue, don't read until after the session is over] Something happened, huh? Things do seem to be happening at a more significant rate than usual lately. I wonder why that is? Sam asked me if I'd like to hear about what happened, which means I have an opportunity to deny that. He also needs to check his phone first, which is bizarre. If he needed to check his phone first, why didn't he do it before talking to me? His statement is illogical no matter how I look at it. He must have some other motive for telling me he needs to check his phone first. But, why would he ask me permission? Is it possible that asking me permission is simply misdirection for the true purpose of his statement, that being implanting the knowledge of him checking his phone into my mind? That seems the most likely scenario, but far from the only possibility. The fact that there's so much about this statement that doesn't make sense is in itself a clue to his true intentions. You don't accidentally create such a complex and layered statement. What if it's the other way around? What if he's not trying to subtly suggest something, but rather he's trying to directly tell me something? He could have someone watching him, so he can't say it directly. What if this is some kind of code? It's another possibility to consider, but I can't definitively come to any conclusions at the moment. The best course of action for now is to see what else he has to say. I'm sure he was planning on me saying I would like to hear about it, and I see no reason to do anything to go against his plans at present. "Sure."

Well, at least I can discuss the issue at hand... that's good. I'm sure I can get a good response out of this. Sam checks his phone and reads the text he received earlier on his own.

So, basically, a few minutes before now, some guys in white suits were trying to kidnap and/or kill me - not sure which - and quite frankly, I have no idea why, considering nothing besides usual events happened before this today. Do you have any ideas as to why this might be, and do you know any information which could be useful?" "Also, I received a text message after that occurrence, which I hadn't checked until just now." I can probably use this opportunity to collect my thoughts, though I'd rather have conversation first. Based on what happened, I don't think the men in white suits weren't trying to do anything meaningful or interesting, despite how unusual that was, which honestly disappoints me quite a bit. Furthermore, I still haven't been able to come to any conclusions on why this might've happened. Maybe the text will give me a clue. (edited)

Sam is still in the fish store, so he doesn't say anything for now, but he does consider the text message. Strange... do I trust this text? I mean, it could be Sophie since she had my phone number. On the other hand, one of those anonymous guys could've received my text message. And it might be that I'm being baited into going somewhere. It could even be both: maybe she's in on it, and trying to make me go somewhere that would be dangerous for me. This summary covers three of my four theories from earlier. I'm starting to think mom has nothing to do with it, at least - that's one of the four options out of the way. Anyway, if I even want to do anything in the first place, I should ask for someone to come along. I could ask Mr. Kerloe, though doubt he'd come. It's better to get advice from him instead. Who else remotely knows Sophie? There's that Lelouch girl who's popular around school, I guess, though I haven't talked to her much. Maybe Ray? Once again, I don't know many people who could be useful. I'll listen to what Hav has to say. [back to https://discord.com/channels/959192904184778753/980276522780872715/990410844644995122] (edited)

[inner monologue, don't read until after the session is over] White suits? Well, that sure sounds like what the bandaged person was wearing. I wonder if there's a connection there. "Nothing besides usual events", huh? Is this not "usual events"? Is a small deviation in your life not "usual"? Do you not expect change? Sam here is exactly like a fish in the ocean, about to be captured by a fisherman. He thinks being captured, being targeted, having someone coming after him, is "unusual". It's the exact opposite. The natural cycle of life is that fishermen will always exist, for as long as fish have value. The loss of the "usual" experience is in itself usual. Not expecting your world to be shattered by an event is incredibly naïve. I think it's best if I give Sam all the information I have. He's just a kid, I don't think he could be trying to do anything to endanger me. Telling him this could unlock more in regards to whatever is going on. "I spoke to someone wearing a white suit earlier. Their face was covered in bandages and they had been shot in the shoulder by an old man named Gus. There was also a woman named Lelouch there. Neither of the other two were wearing white suits, though." (edited)
Avatar
Some guy in a white suit was shot? This is surprising news, but I can't assume the two are connected. Considering how anticlimactic that entire occurrence was, unless it's connected to Sophie, I don't think the two can possibly be related, unless this is really out of the ordinary, which I can't believe considering that the guys in the white suits refused to elaborate. Maybe mentioning that to Mr. Kerloe could be useful, or at least make him understand better. Anyway, I should probably keep this Gus guy in mind. More importantly, Lelouch was brought up. If I want to talk to Lelouch regarding what happened, which I did consider, Mr. Kerloe may have the necessary info. I'm sure Lelouch would want to help some way or another, so regardless of whether the message came from Sophie or not, that would be informative. Since I received the text, solving this should be at least more interesting than whatever I was doing in the morning. Then again, I'm quite sure Lelouch is a high school student, but Mr. Kerloe said he saw a "woman". Maybe they're different people? I should definitely tell Mr. Kerloe as much as possible. ...What was Lelouch's last name again? That would be good to remember. "Thanks for this information. By the way, the actual result was unfortunately not so interesting, as the white suits refused to explain anything about their motivations or anything else when I asked. I would've liked to hear about that." "The information about the other two might be useful, especially the latter. First, do you know the name of the guy in the white suit? Second, was the name of the woman Lelouch... Maoziwam, by any chance? And third, do you have any contact information for her?"

[inner monologue, don't read until after the session is over] The white suits refused to explain? That sounds expected, if they were targeting him. What an odd thing to point out. I suppose it makes sense, however. Sam is a fish out of water, as they say, and he's never seen a fisherman before. Fish cannot speak, but if they could, I'm sure they'd want to know why they were being captured and cut up into pieces to be fed to humans. For that fish, this experience is their entire world. They don't know that countless other fish also go through the exact same thing. This is a fact of life for fish, as it is a fact of life for Sam that is "usual days" will be upended. "I don't know the name of the white suit person. I didn't hear Lelouch's last name, either, nor do I have any contact information." For a moment, I am tempted to append an explanation for how this was a very brief interaction and I saw very little of what happened, but I decide not to. It's not necessary information, he already had everything. Explaining why to make myself look better is pointless, and I'm upset that I even thought to do so in the first place.
Avatar
Well, that's unfortunate. Maybe he didn't get a chance to see the people or talk to them much. Or maybe I said something wrong which caused him to be less interested in what I said, which is a shame because I would like to keep talking to Mr. Kerloe in interesting ways. However, I should consider this later. At any rate, I can't leave here completely clueless, that's for sure. I should sit down for dinner and collect my thoughts, if not briefly. Depending on how urgent I consider the text to be, I may want to hurry up, but doing so requires me to analyze the situation first, so that's the first priority. So I should probably be quick. Maybe I'll place a quick order, too, and if I want to ask Mr. Kerloe for further advice, I can do so afterwards. However, if I ask to order something "quick", I doubt that would receive a good response. So I'll just take something random instead of the usual. Anyway, overall, that was helpful information. I'm glad I chose to come here specifically. "Alright, thank you anyway. I'll order something random below $X.XX. You can pick." Sam sits down at a random table, as usual. (edited)

...Now I should figure out what was going on. There are three important points which I believe are probably useful to me: the text message, Lelouch, and the Sentasaurus. First, the text message. Earlier, I said that the text message was either from Sophie, a trap, or both. In regards to this, I can't make any immediate conclusions beyond the fact that it's probably not both. The message was typed was similar, but was mistyped in different locations. This tells me that whoever wrote the text messages went through the effort of typing both. However, there is conflicting evidence in both directions. If Sophie wrote it, I have no idea why she has her phone, or why she sent the messages so many minutes apart. If it's a trap, then I don't know why this person bothered typing the message again, though maybe it was to establish extra credibility. Maybe they took Sophie's phone, actually? That could resolve both of my problems. So, either it is Sophie and it's a trap, or it's a trap and the kidnapper took Sophie's phone, or it's not Sophie's number at all. The natural question resulting from this is whether Sophie is actually missing or not. To be fair, the answer could be either. I could call the number and find out, but based on my suspicion, this would be counterproductive. I should have another way around this, though. For now, let's move on to the second point: Lelouch. Asking her is definitely the best course of action I can take at the moment. How can I get her contact information? Maybe it's in the school directory online, and perhaps the same for Sophie. I'll check that now. That should help resolve the first point as well. (edited)
9:34 PM
The last point is the Sentasaurus. Are he and/or team 9 involved? Again, I'm very skeptical, but in the off-chance that they aren't, it's possible I could even receive information from them, though it's risky; if the text really is from Sophie, he could be involved as well, and that's dangerous. Either a bunch of coincidences line up towards the simple truth 'The Sentasaurus and/or associates kidnapped Sophie', or none of this is connected. Neither result is particularly of interest, but in the off-chance that something else is going on, I suppose it's important for me to do something. Maybe if they're unrelated, I could try to get the Sentasaurus on my side by actually bothering to redeem the coupon. I should be able to show it to the cashier on my phone and have it scanned. That avoids the printing issue, and it should be an image, so I shouldn't have issues doing so. Sam writes in his notebook the following on the first page below his notes from yesterday one line: (edited)

Is there seriously no such thing? This school is a bit less organized than I was hoping. Do I really have to wait until school tomorrow to go search for Lelouch or whoever? Well, I still need more information right now, and if nothing else comes up, I'll ask Mr. Kerloe if he can go as well. Meanwhile, Sam checks Twitter since he got another response. (https://discord.com/channels/959192904184778753/969316217817010246/990379907093782618) Speaking of my third point... it seems the thread has gotten more replies. There's a back-and-forth between the Sentasaurus and Team 9. ... I was right. For some reason, they're arguing over some random guy who they weren't supposed to know at all. It has to have been planned from the start, and I suppose I must believe that they were connected after all. For some reason, some incredibly dumb people thought it "interesting" to mess with some random person who they couldn't have known. There's no way I'll believe that this conflict is real. However, maybe I can take advantage of it to mess with them? Or not, because if they're working together, whatever I do won't change anything. I could send something cryptic, but that might just cause problems. (edited)
10:07 PM
Aside from that, this lends more credibility to the idea that Sophie was in fact kidnapped, regardless of who sent the phone message. However, does that mean it's really something to worry about? The Sentasaurus and Team 9 specialize in pranks. This is probably some sort of prank: the Twitter conflict, the park incident yesterday, and now these text messages, they could all be tied to this meaningless result. So, if it is a prank, maybe I should just ignore it. Wait and see what they try to do with my absence. The problem with this is that I was nearly kidnapped and/or killed earlier, so they might be trying to use force to carry this out, unless that was also staged. Let's see if I can come up with anything else. Sam checks the time, and searches the address on Google Maps™️ to see if he can get anything else.

It's a nearby house... that means if I'm to get any further information about it, I'll have to actually go there, which is annoying. That means I could ask Mr. Kerloe. Maybe. If not, I've come up with another idea. I refuse to be pulled into a boring, meaningless mess on my own. So, instead, if I can't get anyone I know, I could post something which does generate "interest" for some people. Like a puzzle or something, I'm sure some people care about those. I'll post the name of the address on a new account, but frame it in a bizarre way that doesn't give away the answer until people have figured it out. If I were to just post the address by itself, then whoever is behind this would know immediately. Maybe then, it would be interesting if random people who figured out the address showed up to the location. Technically, the police are an option, but I'm not sure if it's for the best. I could try that before enacting this plan. ...I'm probably jumping too far ahead. Let me just ask Mr. Kerloe first. He probably has useful advice to this end.

[inner monologue, don't read until after the session is over] He wants my thoughts? That's a strange question. I have a lot of thoughts on a lot of things. But, it's alright, I've figured it out. I can infer based on the fact that he placed "what are your thoughts" after the mentioning of the two messages that he specifically wants my thoughts on those messages. That's a relief. As far as whether or not I believe it is real, that's a silly question. It's as real as anything else. He was sent the messages by a person, that's guaranteed. A deception is still real communication. I don't know much about phone messaging, but presumably it involves two people communicating with each other through text. I'm not interested in doing so myself, I see no reason to have a cell phone when nobody is worth communicating with in the first place, but understanding it can be useful. In terms of these messages, it's hard to say what they mean at the current moment. I'll see if he can get more information by responding, it's possible that things will become clearer after that. I should word my next statement carefully, to make sure I don't come off as commanding him to do anything. It's only a suggestion. "I think you should try responding. Maybe you'll get more information that way."

Sam Kidink 7/2/2022 3:01 PM
True. This was exactly the sort of advice I was hoping for. I mean, the best part about asking for advice from Mr. Kerloe is that there is almost certainly some sort of hidden meaning of interest. So, I don't think he's actually suggesting I directly respond right away. It's possible that it would trigger a notification on Sophie's phone which would cause problems, not to mention I'm fairly sure Mr. Kerloe doesn't even use a phone at all. I think? Maybe I should ask later. Anyway, I think I get it now: he is suggesting that I should message someone, just not this person specifically. The point was that messaging anyone at all would help. ...That's right, I missed the most obvious possibility! Just like Sophie or whoever else is active on Twitter, the same must apply to Lelouch as well, so I can message her there. How did I miss this? I should've considered more that everyone tends to do the exact same things. Maybe I miss more of these during "more normal" conversations with Mr. Kerloe? I should definitely consider this in the future, it'll be a fun use of time. Though I should probably do what I just said. "That's a good idea, thanks. I'll see if I can get more information through messaging." I sit down again for the time being and return to using the phone.

If successful, he attempts to send a DM message: "Hi, this is Sam, I'm from Belto Shelk Memorial Highschool. I've received a text message which may be from Sophie which leads me to believe she might be in danger, so if you want to help, that would probably be nice." Of course, I don't actually believe she is in danger at all, considering this probably isn't real, but this is probably the best way to go right now regardless of whether that's the case.

...Wow, apparently all I've learned is that searching only helps me when the task is currently useless. Anyway, the current messages only confirm my belief; I don't think she would respond with something like this at all. In fact, whoever this is, they've just confirmed that there's nothing to worry about in reality, which means that I have the freedom to respond however I want to. It's probably for the best that I stay at Kerloe Fishery for the time being, right? I can kill some time in this manner. I'll just send a bunch of nonsense and see if I get a response, just for the fun of it. Or I'll throw in a hidden message and see if they figure it out. I should also inform Mr. Kerloe when I get a response. He'll probably have good advice again. Sam sends a lengthy text message to the unknown number:
Hello, nice to meet ya! How are you? I have some questions for you. + Is your name Lelouch Maoziwam? + Is your name Sophie Wight? + Are you from Team 9? + Is your name The Elusive Sentasaurus? + Is your name Sam Kidink? + Is your name Belto Shelk? + Is your name Belto W.

[inner monologue, don't read until after the session is over] Again, he's asking for my thoughts. It's getting a bit frustrating, but I shouldn't let this get to me. I only need to get through this interaction. One step at a time. Truth be told, I don't believe this "prank" explanation. My best guess for what's really happening here is that someone was kidnapped and managed to send the first two messages, but the kidnapper took the messaging machine back and tried to revert the damage. Sam seems like the type of person who would care that someone is in trouble, and would go ahead and try to save someone if he thought they were kidnapped. Being caught up in something like that could be extremely dangerous, so I'd like to avoid it if possible. To get him to back off, I'll need to construct a sizable statement. I must explain the fact that I believe there isn't a problem, and subtly suggest for him to move on. Once again, I mustn't act like I definitively know anything. Talking down to Sam, as much as it would be justified, won't be a good way to get him to trust me. A lot of thought is required for this, but it's necessary to avoid what could happen if Sam thinks the messages are real. Additionally, helping Sam would keep him coming back here, which would be good. The more time one spends around fish, the better a person they become, after all. If I help Sam, everyone wins. Sam avoids danger, he continues being able to be around fish, and I retain a customer. Being here and seeing the fish could help remind Sam that worrying about what might be happening to someone far away from you is a waste of time. Whatever happens won't affect his life whatsoever. A single fish being cut up and made into food doesn't change the fate of all the other fish in the ocean. Someone being in danger is normal. Fish are captured and sold constantly. Trying to stop the natural flow of things by "saving someone" is utterly pointless. "If they're saying it's a prank, then there's no problem, is there? I suppose you should forget about it, I doubt it's related to what happened to you earlier." (edited)

It appears that at least on the surface, Mr. Kerloe agrees with my assessment: there really was nothing to worry about after all. Does he think I agree? ...This probably doesn't matter. Regardless, maybe I should apologize since I made him look at something uninteresting. Is there a hidden meaning behind his words this time too? Perhaps he is implying that because the texts are unimportant, I should instead concern myself with the earlier incident on its own. That's fine - it was what I was planning to do anyway, considering that the entire thing stopped being interesting once the anonymous number labeled it as a joke. Now that I think about it, if the two incidents were really related, they would wait until they actually caught me before doing anything at all. If, for example, a hypothetical kidnapper was lying in the text messages, then they wouldn't tell me to ignore this and would instead try to bait me into going further, which isn't what happened. "I agree. Thanks for the advice, and I apologize if this wasn't particularly interesting." Sam checks the time and pays for the food because he apparently forgot to earlier somehow, and tips a bit extra this time. He then sits back down for a bit and starts taking some notes in his notebook.

So, what now? I have no idea what happened earlier still, and perhaps that on its own is what's related to everything else. I could go redeem the coupon, if that helps at all. Then again, it still may be dangerous to go back outside. There's no need for me to take risks in a situation where nothing of interest is happening. What was I going to do besides that? I thought it would be funny if random people ended up finding the location. Earlier, I was considering posting some sort of encrypted message online, but I'm just now realizing how dumb that is, considering how most people online probably aren't even in this city. What I could do instead is write a bunch of notes telling people to go to this one place. Wouldn't that be funny? I just throw a bunch of scraps of paper indicating the address across the town, and let people find them. Maybe something funny will happen then. ...Then again, as fun as that might be, it's possible that I was the only person who was sent this, so maybe I shouldn't involve myself in this way. ... I give up. I'll just ask the police once I exit this building. Then, I'll just go to a store somewhere and redeem the coupon, since I said I would. Then I'll go home. Considering my previous track record planning anything at all, I doubt this will actually work out, but who cares at this point. Sam takes out his notebook, writes the address down so he doesn't have to keep referencing his phone, and also takes these notes on a new page:
11:15 AM
He also does two other things on his phone afterwards: 1) Checks to see if that one coupon sent by the Sentasaurus actually has some barcode or something that can be scanned without having to print it out, because why not. 2) Tries to find the nearest convenience store on Google Maps.

Wait, what? Who is this at all? There's no one behind me, right? Sam glances around in his chair to check. Presumably, there's no one. I'm probably just hearing things. Or someone's just been reading my thoughts? This could be fun. I've had this thought many times in the past, honestly, though not in the past few days. What if there was someone reading my thoughts for some reason? How would they even do that? Is it a bunch of disorganized ideas, or do they somehow read it off like a book? Some strange possibilities that have always gotten in the way of me actually believing that to be practical at all. If that were the case, then by thinking about this possibility often, it would be funny to surprise someone like this. I mean, it's bad for my purposes because I would rather be able to think to myself in peace, but why not, this could be fun. In fact, the part that annoys me more is that they bothered to try "talking" to me right now, because I'd rather at least believe I'm not being watched. So now what? To be fair, it IS true that I've been trying to avoid getting involved as much as possible, but I don't see how that's a problem for me. Presumably, if they are really aware of what I'm thinking, then I won't have to say anything. Plus, I'm still eating, so I would prefer to not be put in a position where I have to involve myself in whatever this is at all, especially if it was set up by someone who has too much time on their hands. I've said before that if it was a prank, then I don't really care. Sam says nothing and attempts to "focus" on thinking about something similar to the last paragraph especially. (edited)

There is, in fact, a white dog standing behind Sam now.
Avatar
There's a dog. Standing, even. I don't believe this is related, and even if it is, I doubt actually talking to the dog would accomplish anything. In fact, I could just be hallucinating something, though I would definitely like to believe otherwise because so far this is funny. I'll just keep thinking. If you happen to be the dog, I'm recognizing that you exist now. Congratulations. Sam thinks about this in addition to the above. (edited)
Avatar
"Are you ignoring me?" The dog, in the girl's voice.
Avatar
...I see. So this dog can't actually read my thoughts. That's disappointing, this could've been much funnier. However, in this case, why hasn't Mr. Kerloe reacted at all? If the dog is actually physically talking to me, then that goes against my earlier theory. Clearly, it has to be something else, and I hope I'm not seeing things. In the off case that I am, I'd rather not be talking to thin air in the fish store of all places. I'll go outside first. But first, if I'm not, then presumably the dog should be able to see something I do. Sam tears out a small piece of paper from his notebook and writes this:
11:44 AM
He then puts it behind him so that it's "facing" the dog.
Avatar
"I don't have time for your tests, idiot! My friend's going to die from your laziness!" The dog appears unhappy.
Avatar
So this does work. I'm glad one of my crazy ideas was actually correct this time. Apparently, there is simply a dog that Mr. Kerloe cannot see, but that can actually read and see things. That's fine. I can exit the building now and actually bother to talk now. [go to https://discord.com/channels/959192904184778753/980276522780872715/994993866493149204] (edited)

"@Sam11944913 so I will be blunt and honest with you, im not at right to answer the questions. I got a phone call that warned about not doing this now, idk. but rules are rules. However, I would still like to thank you for responding to me! How did you even get this twitter? I'm barely recognized. I also would like to thank you for addressing this concern about my lack of memorabilia. It could eventually change where I want to go with this ridiculous costume. And I would also like to thank you for actually going with what I wanted, even though you won't get any answers thanks to the limitations. I guess you could call this a Shaggy 'saurus Story? Preview Anyways, I've sent you an online coupon for you to use at a nearby general store to get Oreos at 50% off. Just print it out and its free to use! If theres any issues pertaining to that, please DM me again. Thank you, The Elusive Sentasaurus" (edited)

He's definitely lying about something, and it could kill him. If you can, please find everything you know about Jackson and team 9 so I can ensure that Jackson is safe they do stuff around this neighborhood. 3. Knowing it personally, it sucks.

But I was alone, and I had a panic attack and probably ruined the entire video. I got scared and thought I might have ruined my entire career. I came alone walking home crying and that's basically it. I had a plan to turn this entire spiel into it being intentionally bad, but I ended up embarrassing myself today and probably pissing off who I work with so thats out of the window. Please give this note to sam after you read it". (edited)

"Hey! Where are you going!" The dog followed.
Avatar
After leaving the store with the piece of paper, he walks for about 30 seconds in a random direction. Then, he finally speaks. "Okay, what is it? I'd rather not talk while someone else is listening, and you're clearly at least somewhat sentient. So, I'm interested in how this situation is possible at all." (edited)
Avatar
"That doesn't matter right now! If someone texts you with a call for help, you don't just ignore that!"
Avatar
I'm glad I thought of this possibility earlier. Of course, I don't believe it's true. It's definitely beneficial for me to share my theories to see how the dog - she? - responds. "Well, in the first place, I had no idea if that text message was real, and that's still the most likely possibility. Mr. Kerloe and I both independently came to the conclusion that it was best to ignore it, and that's probably right, seeing as the only way you would know about the text message is if you had written some part of it." Ignoring the absurdity of a dog writing a text message, I would never blindly rush into a potentially dangerous situation anyway. Unless it's interesting. However, I would still take precautions even then. ...By the way, what time even is it? Sam checks the time on his phone after this. (edited)

*Wait. "Our" friends?" "...And how were you doing that? What are you? An elaborate prank? Someone disguising themselves as a dog? A hologram? And no, I'm not going to do that, because that would most likely result in my death rather than anyone getting saved at all. Or I'd be added to the list of people stuck at that house. What would you do then?" "...Though, you also said "our" friends. Let me guess, Sophie is there? How do you know her, and also, who else is there? I'd rather know the situation in full before doing anything." "Can't you just talk to Lelouch or someone else instead? I'm sure she cares more, considering what I've heard she's said about Sophie in the past."
Avatar
"Lelouch is kidnapped on the other side of town right now. Plus I hate her. Really no time in my schedule for her."
Avatar
So I guess she won't answer most of my first two sets of questions. Also, do I really believe multiple students are kidnapped? I'm not sure. What this does tell me is that this dog doesn't only know me. At least it confirms that I wasn't seeing things. Still, if that's true, why does she hate Lelouch? Well, what do I know about school gossip... "Still, this doesn't answer why you've asked me specifically to bother when I'm much less likely to succeed than, you know, the police. Or anyone else, really." ...I'm not even going to mention that someone who hates Lelouch setting up Sophie to be saved could easily have ulterior motives. I also considered telling this dog to show me proof that this is actually happening, but that could easily be staged. (edited)

"I really don't have time for your laziness! Can't you act a little more like a main character!?"

...Clearly this question won't be answered. Maybe I should just stop asking why a dog is bothering to stalk me specifically. "This isn't about being lazy, it's about almost certainly putting myself in danger twice in a day when I nearly got myself kidnapped an hour ago."

"Lazy, lazy, lazy, lazy." She repeated this word.

"If you're going to act like this and not actually respond to what I'm saying, I could just go to a convenience store now. Which is what I was going to do earlier before I got derailed like this. You could at least explain what you want. Or convince me that I have anything to gain by going."

"If you’re really going to act so immature… Fine. Sam Kidink! I’ve come to claim that favour!"

Is this some sort of trick? I don't remember such a thing, or maybe the dog is talking about something else. ...This is getting uninteresting despite the absurdity of a talking dog. Unfortunately, unlike with Ray, I can't just ditch this conversation... sigh "...I actually don't remember. Tell me what it was."
Avatar
"Go to the address Sophie sent you, save them, and then bring them back to Kerloe Fishery to reclaim your ability!" Sam is forced to follow this order.
Avatar
...If I consider this properly, it recontextualizes the earlier conversation, actually. The fact that... whoever this is has been so confidently stating that I should go probably indicates that I in fact might not be put in danger if I do. In fact, even if I do, it's possible that because this setup was so elaborate that something interesting might come of up. Clearly, there's some more elaborate game planned than whatever I had assumed earlier. Fine, it's worth a try. And if I just went back home, I doubt this dog would stop arguing with me. "Once again, you didn't answer my question. But fine. I've decided that this either has no risk in reality or could be interesting." (edited)
12:46 PM
Sam finally decides to go to the address.
Avatar
It’s a house. There’s holes in the walls for some reason.
Avatar
...Probably bullet holes, if I had to guess. But you know what? I'll just die! The dog said that the people can still be rescued, i.e. they're still alive even after whatever went down. So, clearly, if I get shot, it'll probably be non-lethal, and this will end without any problems. Right? ...This is ridiculous. Sam pulls out his notebook in preparation in case he need to throw something at anyone. Then he checks if the door is unlocked.
Avatar
It is.
Avatar
Where did she even go, anyway? Well, thinking about this is probably pointless. Sam opens the door and enters to see if anyone is there.

Sam Kidink 7/8/2022 1:08 PM
...Jackson? The Team 9 guy earlier? And why is HE worried? He's the one with the gun. I don't believe for a second that the Sentasaurus guy is actually dead if this Jackson guy is still worried. So, my initial theory about everything I mentioned being connected was actually true? That just makes this more stupid. Maybe if it really is a prank after all, I should have no problems getting out of here. ...The dog made it sound like I was obligated to fix this situation, so maybe it was set up just for this purpose. Maybe the Sentasaurus sent her as part of all this? It's not impossible. I guess I'll see what's happening. Of course, if this is all real, maybe I'll just die. Not like I have any defense against a gun. "Great. Can you explain what happened here, or are you just going to shoot everyone left in this room? I was under the impression that this was all a prank." Sam directs this statement at Jackson while holding up the notebook just to be "safe", though he doubts this will help at all. (edited)
Avatar
"You! Of course you actually came! Did you call the police? Did you bring the whole town here to make this a bigger mess?" Jackson held the gun to Sophie's head, hostage style. "H-Hands in the air! Now! Before I shoot both of you!"
Avatar
Sam Kidink 7/8/2022 1:19 PM
...I really should've asked Sophie why she came here and why I had anything to do with this during class. Maybe then I'd be more aware of the situation. Also, I'm once again reminded that the dog said multiple people were kidnapped, which clearly turned out to be false. Or maybe she was talking about the Sentasaurus. Who cares, though? This never should've been my concern. But since I'm here now, I have no choice, unfortunately. "I considered it, actually, but I was specifically forced not to. By a dog, of all things. I hope I haven't been hallucinating the whole time, and either way, I don't want anything to do with this. But I guess I have to stop you from shooting anyone in case I get framed for this somehow, now that I'm here." Sam runs towards Jackson and attempts to disarm him by first hitting him with the notebook and then grabbing the gun, also not expecting this to remotely succeed.

I can definitely play along with this in this case. "Sentasaurus guy. It's clear that I'm not going to be able to do anything myself, and clearly you had been working with Jackson earlier. So, are you going to help me disarm this guy so no one here has to deal with any more of this nonsense, or what?" "Sophie, why did you get yourself involved in this in the first place? I was always wondering that. It was a dumb idea from the start." Sam attempts to check the Sentasaurus' wound again for anything unusual.

There is no way I should've been able to disarm him successfully, so something's clearly up. Anyway, I'm not running to get the gun. There's no point in getting myself caught up in this further, so I might as well just call the police. Jackson did shoot Bob, and I can't just carry Bob out of here for obvious reasons. "Sentasaurus, I've unfortunately been obligated by someone to get you out of here safely, but I can't do that on my own, so I'm out of ideas. If you could just walk out, that would be nice, but seeing as that's impossible, I'll guess I'm stuck here for now." Sam then runs next to the gun, but doesn't pick it up. Then he takes out his phone to try and call the police. (edited)

...The second thing I was told I should do is bring Sophie to Kerloe Fishery, for some reason. Why a fish store, of all places? The Sentasaurus guy did claim to like fish, so maybe that's the connection. I wonder how he knows about Kerloe Fishery, if he does. So much is going on, and all the different chaotic events that just happened are starting to blend together. I have to figure out what's happening, though. By far the most interesting part of all this is the talking dog. I still have no idea what that was about, but if I want to ask more questions, I assume I have no choice but to do as she said. That requires me to find Sophie, though. Either she's still somewhere nearby, or she went straight away. Sam checks around the house for a bit to see if he can find her anywhere. If this doesn't work, he instead runs in the direction away from the house to search.

She’s still hyperventilating, and doesn’t respond.
Avatar
Sam Kidink 7/8/2022 2:53 PM
Sam realizes that he still has the 911 call open, and hangs up if it's silent on the other end. How am I supposed to do this? I have to wonder what will happen tomorrow. Is she even going to be able to come to school in this state? Where are her parents? Why did she investigate this at all? Does she know about the dog? Is it actually still possible that this was staged? Well, considering her reaction, maybe I shouldn't ask that last one. ...Anyway, In this state, there's no way I can ask Sophie for answers to any of these. I have no choice but to direct us to Kerloe Fishery. Which is dumb, because I told Mr. Kerloe I wouldn't bother, yet I was forced to. Can't wait to have to deal with explaining all of this nonsense just because of a talking dog. I mean, I was basically threatened, so I'll just tell him that. "If you want to go somewhere safe, there's this fish store nearby that I've gone to before. The owner should be fairly trustworthy. Then, you can call your parents or anyone else. I somehow managed to keep my phone."
Avatar
"Are you sure it’s safe?"
Avatar
Sam Kidink 7/8/2022 2:57 PM
...I'm not planning on recommending Sophie - or anyone for that manner - to actually go to Kerloe Fishery more than necessary. I prefer the quiet atmosphere there. So, I should probably avoid advertising it or anything. "I've talked to the owner before, and he should still be there. Actually, I was there earlier today." (edited)

"Is it close?"
Avatar
Sam Kidink 7/8/2022 3:11 PM
I know it's close by, and I know how to get there since I just took this path to get to the house in the first place. However, I should at least make it seem like I checked so she trusts that I actually know. "Let me see..." Sam checks his phone for about 30 seconds and does basically nothing, then puts it away. "It's close, yes."

"Okay, okay…" She tried to calm her breathing. "Let’s… Let’s hide there."

This is the first time Mr. Kerloe hasn't been here around this time. Where did he go? "...For the record, I've never seen this place empty before once. I have no idea what's going on anymore." Sam glances around to confirm that he actually went to the right place by checking to see if there are fish everywhere. (edited)

There are indeed fish everywhere.
Avatar
Sam Kidink 7/8/2022 4:42 PM
I was hoping talking to Mr. Kerloe could help me organize my thoughts, but I guess that's not happening. But now what? I brought Sophie to Kerloe Fishery, and nothing happened. Which is honestly good. It means that I probably don't have to deal with this anymore. And I doubt the dog is coming back if she's not here. What now? I don't know any safe locations nearby, if not here. I'll leave the decision to Sophie, it's not like questioning will help me here. Also, I don't know what was up with that gun the team 9 guy - Jackson - had, but I should probably be more concerned about the fact that I was shot, whether it was real or otherwise. It's very confusing, but I'll think about it later. For now... "Okay, I was hoping that the owner would in fact be here, but it seems not. I don't know what to do at this point. If you have any better ideas, that's up to you. Or you can use my phone to call someone." (edited)

Oh no. A cat in the store is incredibly dangerous. This could cause extreme levels of contamination. I'll need to hire someone to disinfect the entire store. Of course, I'll need to replace the displays of fish as well. This is not a problem, as the fish are disposable. I do not lament needing to be rid of them. I heard a voice, but I might just be hearing things. For a moment, I consider asking for help, but that will not do. I will have to bear with the risk that touching this cat will bring me. I walk over to the cat and attempt to grab it.

"Early life Born in Montreal, and raised in Saint-Augustin-de-Desmaures,[1] Chiasson grew up cheering for the Montreal Canadiens.[2] He began skating at age 4 after his sister suggested that he start.[1] He played in the 2003 and 2004 Quebec International Pee-Wee Hockey Tournaments with a minor ice hockey team from Rive-Nord, Montreal.[3] After his sophomore year of high school, he left Quebec to study at Northwood School in Lake Placid, New York.[4] Although Chiasson did not speak English until he moved to the United States (famously knowing only the words "yes", "no", and "toaster", hence his nickname of "Toaster"),[5] he has since become fluent. Amateur Chiasson played for the Des Moines Buccaneers of the USHL for the 2008–09 season. While in Des Moines he was coached by J. P. Parisé.[4] That year he led the team in scoring and was selected for the 2009 USHL All-Star Game.[2] He was drafted in the 2009 NHL Entry Draft by the Dallas Stars in the second round (thirty eighth overall).[6]"

"Boston University In 2009 Chiasson enrolled at Boston University, then the defending NCAA Division I Ice Hockey National Champions. He has remarked that he enjoyed playing for BU in part due to the close knit nature of the team.[4] In his first season at BU he missed several games due to a concussion.[7] During the 2010 off season Chiasson worked out with Patrice Bergeron in Quebec.[1] He was successful in the 2010–11 season, and led his team in scoring.[1] While not playing hockey, Chiasson enjoys golfing and attending Boston Red Sox games.[4] His teammates nicknamed him "chaser".[2] Professional Dallas Stars On March 26, 2012, Chiasson signed a three-year contract with the Dallas Stars organization. He was assigned to their AHL affiliate, the Texas Stars, where he finished the rest of the season.[8] During the lock-out-shortened 2012–13 season, Chiasson was recalled from Texas and made his NHL debut on April 3, 2013 against the Anaheim Ducks. In his second career game Chiasson scored his first NHL goal on April 5, 2013 against Viktor Fasth of the Anaheim Ducks.[9] Playing in the first line along with Jamie Benn and Ray Whitney, Chiasson scored six goals in his first six games.[10] Ottawa Senators Chiasson was involved in a blockbuster trade on July 1, 2014, being dealt to the Ottawa Senators along with Alex Guptill, Nick Paul, and a 2015 second round pick in exchange for star forward Jason Spezza, and Ludwig Karlsson.[11] He scored a goal in his first game with the Senators on October 9, 2014.[12] Following the 2014–15 NHL season Chiasson became a restricted free agent under the NHL Collective Bargaining Agreement. The Ottawa Senators made him a qualifying offer to retain his NHL rights and, on July 5, 2015, Chiasson filed for salary arbitration.[13] Chiasson was seeking $2.4 million per year, while the Senators offered $1 million. The arbitrator awarded Chiasson a one-year contract of $1.2 million."
4:35 PM
"Calgary Flames Following the 2015–16 season, Ottawa and Chiasson again clashed over a new contract, unable to agree to a dollar value. As such, the Senators traded Chiasson to the Calgary Flames in exchange for Patrick Sieloff on June 27, 2016.[14] He was promptly signed as a restricted free agent to a one-year $800,000 contract with the Flames.[15] He rebounded offensively with the Flames in the 2016–17 season, providing depth scoring with 12 goals and 24 points in 81 games. As an arbitration eligible restricted free agent following a first-round exit in the post-season, Chiasson was not extended a qualifying offer by the deadline on June 26, 2017.[16] Washington Capitals On September 9, 2017, the Washington Capitals signed Chiasson, then an unrestricted free agent, to a professional tryout (PTO).[17] Following training camp and preseason, on October 4, 2017, the Capitals signed Chiasson to a $660,000 one-year contract.[18] Chiasson won his first Stanley Cup in 2018 with the Capitals. Edmonton Oilers On September 10, 2018, Chiasson signed a professional try out contract with the Edmonton Oilers,[19] and on October 2, signed a one-year contract with the Oilers.[20] With the Oilers, Chiasson set a new career high for most goals in a season, scoring his 14th on December 14, 2018, against Anthony Stolarz of the Philadelphia Flyers in a 4–1 victory. On April 26, 2021, Chiasson scored his 100th career goal in the NHL, opening the scoring in a 6–1 victory over the Winnipeg Jets.[21][22] Vancouver Canucks On October 12, 2021, Chiasson signed a one year contract with the Vancouver Canucks worth $750k, after a successful try-out in training camp.[23]"

Lelouch suddenly has TWO realizations 1. If she want's to keep Sophie safe, it'd probably be better to pretend to be her. As long as they take Lelouch instead, she'll be okay. This could mean the same as throwing away her own life however... And if she did that she couldn't help all the other women. It then becomes a question of whose lives matter more, Sophie's or the many other women out there. 2. Holy shit this is the guy with a gun

Every instinct Shawn had was telling him to run. Whatever was going on here was weird, terrifying, unnatural. No crowbar should be able to do that. He was starting to doubt Kite, this whole thing should have been a mistake. If he'd just kept his head down, if he'd just avoided conversation, if he just didn't look forward to this one thing for the entirity of this morning, maybe he wouldnt be in this situation. He could still run, escape before whoever this En person was showed up, avoid Kite forever and go back to his normal life... and then what? Keep doing the same stuff? Keep getting lost on his way to school because he has no people to help him around? Keep getting looked down upon by random girls on the bus? Keep up this isolation? What kind of life would that be? His legs were shaking, his arms were sweating, he couldnt move his feet. He was afraid. But he knew, right down to his core, that he couldn't move. He couldn't run. Because running would mean going back home.
6:24 PM
He can't do that.

There were two things that were holding Shawn back. The first was the hostages. They were the number one priority, and if their saftey was in jeopardy, then he needed to do as much as he could to save them. However, it seems like theyre safe, at least for the moment. Maybe that ??? guy would be a danger to them too, but he didnt really know or care The second was fear. Its kinda a natrual human response to be afraid of men with guns shooting at you. Guns arent exactly natural, nor had shawn ever seen one before, but the loud sounds and the fast speed and the huge recoil and the many, many years of learning from television made him keenly aware that he should avoid them at all costs. Except, that was now gone too. He's invincible. No one can touch him, or hurt him. The bullets feel like a gentle massage. He's not the same as everyone else anymore. He cant ever be hurt again, not with this suit on. And that meant he had no reason to fear

Shawn knew there were 5, maybe 6 people total who had been granted powers by Ehn. He knew for sure that it was himself, Shawn, and that mysterious bandaged guy, but who were the other 3? Obviously, there would be no way of knowing who the other 2 or 3 are, but maybe it could be Lelouch and that girl? Maybe the organization kidnapped them because of their powers. Then again, it could be totally unrelated. Either way, hes probably on thier hitlist right now, so he should watch his back
11:54 AM
If they had powers, why didnt they use them? The mysterious man didnt know he had powers until Ehn told him, but at the same time, he lost his memory, so he probably made a deal before that.

He thinks about how they shot at him. His body aches all over, but it's easy to deal with pain. It feels like he got hit by 5,000 teddy bears. But... those were bullets. Real bullets. He should be dead. He's not dead This is real. All of this is real Shawn isnt a hero. He's not effortlesly cool like someone from a comic or from Masquerade V. He can barely save a few hostages.

1:38 PM
Because he's been holding on to his old life. Despite everything, he still keeps holding onto it. That doesnt have to be who he is anymore
1:39 PM
Maybe he's just scared of the unknown. He's a hero now, he doesn't have time for fear. Kite was right, if he wants to really do good... he needs to simply accept whats happening

2:12 PM
I... really don't want to move. Obviously that's not a permanent resolution, can't be, but it'd be a waste to go out when there's a chance they'll just tell me I'm supposed to go back here. Maybe I'll get a wheelchair or something.
2:13 PM
There's no reason to just sit here contemplating how much pain I'm in. I can't very well take notes, but I'll organize my thoughts on what happened to pass the time.
2:14 PM
First, on the way this power worked; he absolutely knew that it was used. Why? What was his perspective of events like? It's a pain that he went and got himself killed. Does the president know that I specifically fucked with him? I hope Mark or whatever just assumed it was the last person he screwed over.
2:16 PM
If everyone I use this on instantly knows I did it, that's a huge problem. It would have very limited use. But what would it be that they learn? If it's my name, I think I'm shit out of luck. There's probably other Dana Craigs out there, but there's only so many, and only one of relevance to the people I've used it on. (edited)
2:17 PM
Well, I guess I'm not specifically relevant to the president. Whatever.
2:18 PM
If it's my appearance, that's a little more forgiving. There's some public record of my existence and how I look, but there shouldn't be any good way to search for that. I'd have to stick to people who don't know me.
2:19 PM
If it's neither, and they somehow instinctually know who and where and what I am, then this ability is useless. I can really only do something with someone else's consent.
2:19 PM
Well, that's a creepy way to describe it. It's not like I'm tangibly violating anything. And I've only used it on assholes.
2:20 PM
It's 'me' that I'm controlling when I use this. Theirs becomes mine. With... my 'soul'.
2:20 PM
Soul...
2:21 PM
I wish there were no traces to me. I could be like a cooler version of the death note guy.
2:22 PM
That guy was a dumbass, anyway. He could've easily won in the first episode if he wasn't such an egomaniac. It's frustrating writing.
2:23 PM
...Here's another question. Does my body matter?
2:23 PM
The rule about reflections is, apparently, my only restriction. If I blinded myself, I could stay in someone forever. Or, to put it another way, if I was blinded, I'd be trapped there forever.
2:24 PM
In that situation, would the 'me' in someone else be able to use the notebook?
2:24 PM
If it extends like that, and if the state of my hollow body won't impact my consciousness, then I never have to die.
2:24 PM
Weird.
2:25 PM
Of course, I'd be living at the expense of others. But the idea that everyone deserves to live is a bit of a naive one.
2:26 PM
Still, that would be a tough balancing act. Taking over the body of someone who has performed a crime terrible enough to warrant the death sentence would probably lead to me being, well, killed.
2:26 PM
This is a silly train of thought anyway. I'm not going to gouge my eyes out anytime soon.

“I’m Dana Craig. 22. Convenience store worker. Female. Yesterday a man held me at gunpoint to rob what was in the register. I went along with his demands to keep myself alive. …I wasn’t sure what to do. I mean, the police are supposed to stop crimes, and he was long gone by the time I came to my senses. I guess I wasn’t thinking straight. I stood idly for a while, and eventually decided to head home. Was pretty sure I’d be fired for this, so whatever. Then I ran into the same guy. I guess he was paranoid and thought I had followed him. I ran for a bit but he cornered me in an alley. Starting yelling nonsense, I think he was on something. I tried to placate him, but he shot me. And I, uh, hid in a dumpster. …I don’t know what happened with him after that. I ran home a few minutes later, and only realized how seriously I was hurt when I had a second to catch my breath there. Then I called an ambulance. That’s about it.”

…How could he already suspect me, though? I don’t think I have to worry about an actual court of law hitting me with anything, but that doesn’t mean I’m free from consequences. Did Shelk send him?

I cough. “Huh. …As of now, I know that if I take you as a reliable source of information, she’s apparently dead.” :/ “I last saw Michelle at [time I last saw Michelle]. She left after buying a bunch of cup ramen since it was the end of her shift, and I went to tell my, uh, boss that she was leaving. I don’t think there was anything weird about her during the day. Conversed with me same as always. If it matters, I don’t think I actually watched her exit the building.” I look less distressed than I maybe should, but certainly more than I did finding out about the death of Margo.

I brush my hair out of my face and glare at him. “I’m really not hiding anything. Marco Gould’s some guy. A career criminal, maybe. Michelle was as straight laced as can be, though I guess her friends can be a little weird.

He just hated me for overcharging him on soda, and I have no idea why someone would go after Michelle, unless they were a sicko trying to dispose of everyone I know before finishing off with me.” I groan. My lower body still feels like shit. “What penance do you want, what sin?! I’ve smoked weed, I cheated on my chemistry midterm, I don’t go to church every sunday, I’ve used foul language!

Does that work? Or do you have reason to doubt this is the truth about me? Oh, wait!” I exaggeratedly slap myself on the forehead. “How could I forget! You don’t have enough information about Dana Craig to suspect her of anything, so you’re misdirecting the proper burden of proof to try to get a forced confession or detail you can misinterpret as self incrimination, because you’re paid enough to be desperate for ‘results’, but not enough to do your job properly!

I’m tearing up a little bit from pain. “Marco Gould’s a celebrity within the community of talking cats, as any witch would know, and Michelle shot first at him because she was jealous of that. Marco and Michelle are partners that go by the single name ‘MM’, running a secret project revolving around the continent Antarctica. Are these not mundane enough? Would you accept that they engage in everyday criminal activity, that they have the relationship of those two guys from Breaking Bad? I can be that weird libertarian they introduce like 40 hours in.

Who the fuck is Ouroboros Stanley. Who the fuck is Ouroboros Stanley? That’s the snake eating it’s own tail, right? Obviously an alias or stage name or something. Shit, is this gonna be a thing? Like, will there be news coverage about me? I hope not. Nothing that happens around here matters to anyone.
5:29 PM
I don’t get it. Is he a politician? What’s with the fucking burger thing? He gave me a bouquet(?), so I don’t know why he’d say that. A fast food executive? I guess I wouldn’t know the name of one of those offhand.
5:30 PM
Should’ve asked that nurse for my stuff, dammit.
5:32 PM
That would be a secondary source of validation, though. “Gang violence”. Marco wasn’t some thug or a formerly law abiding guy who had one bad day recently. There’s a larger group at play here.
5:32 PM
I suppose I can’t hope for honor among thieves here. Marco didn’t take that idea well.
5:33 PM
So this is a group of ‘enemies’.
5:34 PM
I should learn what I can about this group. Criminal organizations don’t exactly have a public webpage, but there has to be information available outside the police if Stanley knew.
5:34 PM
Unless Stanley’s a cop too. Can’t rule that out.
5:36 PM
I’m still confident that I can’t be touched on Marco’s death. My fingerprints sure as hell aren’t on that gun. And I feel like that pig is probably telling the truth about not caring to push me further on the issue. But if you’re a group that acts outside the law entirely, and you look at the circumstances of his death, I’m one of the most obvious suspects. And a mafioso doesn’t presume innocent until proven guilty beyond reasonable doubt.
5:38 PM
Shit, what if that’s what happened to Michelle?! They’re going after everyone they think is a possible culprit since all they knew about Marco’s last actions is that he went to a specific convenience store?
5:39 PM
I should be able to save my own skin if I’m able to get my notebook back and think on my feet.

Okay. You’re in a hospital so shitty that it needs to be funded by patreon and even with that lets in any old intruder. And you killed a member of the mob. The kind of thing they blur out your appearance as witness protection for. And you can’t move. Okay. Okay. Okay. That’s fine.
5:48 PM
Calm down. What did the Death Note guy do, Dana? When there was another guy with the Death Note Notebook that wasn’t on his side. Enemy of my enemy. As long as I have two mutually antagonistic foes, I can become… become invulnerable without even doing anything. (edited)
5:49 PM
The cops won’t make a move on me when there’s a bigger threat around. The mob won’t make a move on me when I’ve obviously caught police attention. This is a good thing, actually. It’s fine.
5:51 PM
Wait, shit, are the police surveillance-ing me?! That would suck ass. I guess not using my abilities would be a step above dying…
5:51 PM
(( I’m sorry for making a character who says holy crap like in media ))

5:55 PM
The police… that side’s under my control. As it stands, they won’t do anything. I hold the key to their antagonism in my hand, actually. It’s when I actively make my presence known, souljack Belto to have him tweet that I, legendary hacker namepending, have taken control. Or something. But the mob isn’t predictable. Who was Marco to them? On one hand, someone who would rob a convenience store has to be so fucking low on the pecking order that avenging him would be meaningless. On the other hand, harmless normie Michelle DID die, and I still have no idea why. (edited)
5:56 PM
Was there more to this crime than meets the eye? He was at the store for a bit before sticking it up. Did he accomplish his true goal then, and only steal the money as some absurd coverup? (edited)
5:57 PM
And he acted right after Angela left. Or soon enough after. Is it because he felt confident with the manager gone and only one person that might resist him? Or is it the other way around; Angela left to have an alibi, collaborating with Marco somehow. I was joking when I talked about getting conspiratorial, but…
5:58 PM
Why did he try to buy soda?
5:59 PM
If he was just going to steal the money in the register, that would be a total waste of time. You can buy all the damn soda you want after the heist, fatty.
6:00 PM
So was that not his original plan? Did my justified trickery infuriate him enough to make him abruptly decide to snap?
6:00 PM
No, he was obviously suspicious from the start. He was just… also thirsty?
6:00 PM
I can’t get over the fucking soda thing.
6:00 PM
Where did the soda go?
6:01 PM
Did he take it along with the money?
6:01 PM
I can’t really recall.
6:01 PM
…How about this chronology.
6:02 PM
1. Michelle leaves the store
6:02 PM
2. Marco enters the store
6:02 PM
3. Angela leaves the store
6:02 PM
4. Marco holds me at gunpoint

5. Ehn

I’m going to ignore 5, since thinking is useless if there are mechanics involved that not even deus ex felis fully knows.

I think back to that time I imagined having a different sort of power, that is being the president, which is technically equivalent to the power I have now. Michelle probably would be my first choice, really. We’re amicable enough in relations, and I bet that there’s a real freak suppressed by her lack of control over her life. Yet…

…I was going to consider her, actually. Out of anyone not already firmly my enemy, she’s the one who already knows the most incriminating information about me. “She’s… interested?”
7:54 PM
Regardless of the person… I do need a partner. By myself, I’d probably be too hesitant to ever do anything. But since I know from Marco there’s no direct adverse effects, someone else would be able to act as a lab rat for me to confirm my limits with. I was thinking of trying to find someone even before this. Giving her an ability is just a bonus. …One that might become a liability, but I’ll try to get the openness with secrets I’ll inherently need to have paid back in full. “I’m certainly not against it.”
7:55 PM
“I’m not going to bother asking what someone who is ‘supposed’ to be part of ‘this’ means. I’m assuming I’m a trivial character in some master plan. An extra piece that may or may not even need to move. I doubt I’m the first one you approached with this deal.”

“Isn’t that the name of a Wild West outlaw?” I grab the radio again and think to myself.
8:32 PM
…There’s no reason this will work. If I ask Ehn who Jessica James is, she’s obviously not going to answer. And using this radio at all is a bad idea. It’s already probably unwise that my fingerprints are on it, and if someone hears a female voice on the line, they’re gonna go oh what the hell. Can the source be traced in a police radio? If they can tell it’s Howard’s, I’m immediately fucked.
8:33 PM
The best option is to shove this back under the bed and hope Howard doesn’t look too closely when he inevitably comes back to look here. Yet…
8:37 PM
Why would Ehn lie about this? I don’t know her motives, but she provided me with this power for some unknown reason. If her reason was “I want you to get arrested”, none of her behavior makes any sense. She needs me around for something, and my getting caught means the fact that she exists getting out. Her stated motive? Entertainment. If I get arrested here, this is the worst fucking story ever. So… I can trust this? The voices were pretty hard to make out minute details of…
8:39 PM
I know Howard Scott’s name, but even if I could struggle through the pain to locate my notebook, he’d have the exactly same likelihood as Marco to realize something’s up. Making people shoot themselves in the head really isn’t sustainable as a recurring thing.

Belto Shelk is probably more important than anyone I know personally. Hope to god he doesn’t know what happened.

"I see." She seemed to take a note of something.

2:50 PM
I think she’s a doctor, at least. Don’t really know. Supposed to be sexist to just assume she’s a nurse but I could be over-correcting.

"Dana, are you alright?"
Avatar
“Eh? Well, no, I got shot. I don’t think it’s life threatening, though.”
Avatar
"Shot?! How? By who? Why?"
Avatar
“With a gun. Guy named Marco Gould.” I pause for the last one. “He’s crazy, I guess.”
Avatar
Ariel walks closer and holds her hand "That... That doesn't seem good."
Avatar
I pull back, looking more fearful than disdainful. “W-Well… He won’t be shooting me again, at least. Fucker’s dead. Apparently. Of course that means I get suspected for that. Or, one singular cop suspected me. No difference, really.”
Avatar
Ariel digs into her bag and grabs the paintbrush "Here, I was told by a certain cat that this would help."
Avatar
Huh. “Would you believe that having a paintbrush on your person is more surprising than anything you just said?”
7:09 PM
“It mentioned contacting you. I wasn’t sure if that actually came to pass, though.”
Avatar
Ariel uses the paintbrush on dana's wounds "Yeah, a talking cat showed up at work today. Called herself 'Ehn'. Said you had an offer for me?"
Avatar
Dana is no longer in pain.
Avatar
Everything but what’s hardest to explain, then. “Something like that. To be honest, I don’t know you very well, Ariel. “ Dana stares at her legs in shock. “So I can’t give some hyper-specific offer tailored to what sort of life you want to live. But I am willing to use my capabilities to your benefit at your request, in return for your cooperation with me on some matters. And in return for, uh, what you just did.”
Avatar
"Honestly, I'm not much to know. I've just been living day-to-day doing very little. But you, you seem interesting. I'm here for you."
Avatar
“See, I need your body.” … “Uh, no, I don’t mean like…” I wave my hands frantically in front of my face. “Look, it would be easier if I could just show you.” I see if I can get up onto my feet now.
Avatar
"Show me then. To be honest, I saw a talking cat today, I think I can believe anything."
Avatar
Dana can get up.
Avatar
I look from side to side, then put my hand to my chin. “Shit, I’m not supposed to be able to do this. The hell do I say to the staff here? ‘Sorry, but you fucked up, there’s actually not a bullet in me’? But I can’t just sit through a surgery for an injury that doesn’t exist…” I sigh. “I guess I’ll just hope nobody familiar with my condition turns up.” I motion for Ariel to follow me as I head out of the room. “You ever seen Death Note, Ariel?”
Avatar
"Yeah, actually."
Avatar
The hallway is empty.
Avatar
I look around for a place where my belongings might be, or where someone who might know that might be. Also a vague paranoid side eye for if I’m being recorded. “See, the Death Note guy could kill people. And then also decide how they died, I think? And he could decide how they behaved before they died, kind of??? It was vague. I don’t remember. I’m like that if it didn’t kill people and also was first person.”
Avatar
"So, you can control others' bodies? Cool! I'm a little jealous, all I got was this lousy paintbrush."
Avatar
“I… guess I could’ve just explained it like that, yes.” Even more paranoid head turning. “I’ve… basically never lied about my circumstances. I never killed anyone. The gunman who shot me ‘killed himself’, as the fingerprints on the weapon will unambiguously prove.”
7:48 PM
“I don’t know if he was working alone, though. Which is why, just as a precaution, I want to solidify my understanding of my limits.”
Avatar
"Fair enough, I believe you. I don't know what you did to him but I'm sure he deserved it"
7:50 PM
Ariel puts her hand on dana's shoulder
Avatar
“It was me or him. If he could be reasoned with, I wouldn’t be here right now.” I don’t react to being touched this time.
Avatar
"So, what can I do for you? I am here to help."
Avatar
“The reason — part of it, at least — that man was so agitated to kill me, was because he knew I’d done something to him earlier. I want to use this ability on you, get a first hand look at what happens to my body while I’m out, walk in circles for a minute or so, and then I’ll get out and you’ll tell me what you experienced during that time. After that, I dunno. Maybe test one or two other things. It depends on what I can find out about the groups that want to screw me over. And whatever you might need from me.” I look back. “What’s up with the paintbrush, anyway?”
Avatar
"It can repair things, apparently. I repaired some broken glass at work today and I guess it can repair you as well. I wonder if you can use it while inside me. I don't mind, it seems cool!"

Carolyn gets up from her bed in a timely manner, the positive experiences of yesterday still fresh in her mind. She prepares herself for the workday with a shower, breakfast, and fixing up her appearance. Before she heads out, she takes a look at the two items she'd left on the table the day prior, those of her two potential targets. She'll need more information on them if she wants to properly extend their happiness, but that's a problem for later, she should get to work in a timely manner. Carolyn heads out and begins on her usual path to her place of work.

Carolyn Blythe 6/18/2022 3:23 PM
Carolyn nods along with his points, listening closely. After a few variations of his complaint, she tries to find a moment in his rant to interject "If I may, it sounds like having this boss in your company is preventing you from being as happy as you could be. If the rest of the company is fond of you, then it shouldn't be that hard to get your boss fired, should it? Fabricate some stories of workplace misconduct, get support from others, and dispose of him through proper means. A solution where everyone is happy would be best, but you're a kind enough person to deserve your happiness prioritized for now."

"Eh?" He stops, noticing she responded. There’s an expression of strong annoyance on his face. "Sorry, I don’t really like when woman talk back. Kind of a turnoff, you know?

Its not really clear what this even means.
Avatar
Carolyn Blythe 6/18/2022 3:38 PM
Carolyn begins thinking to herself as she listens "He doesn't want me to talk back? Well, I suppose he's not looking for solutions then. In that case, maybe the problem with his boss isn't that bad, just a day to day annoyance he wished to vent about. Still... It's possible my initial assessment of his happiness was wrong after all. Though, if he's going out of his way to talk to me, I should be able to stay updated on his progress, and even follow him home on a day I don't have any work." She makes sure to continue smiling and nodding along to his side of the conversation to make it clear he hasn't lost her attention.

"A-Ah..." Carolyn almost calls out to him as he gets up, but stops herself. Her father comes to the front of her mind. That's two people who've left without allowing her the chance to finish helping them. Although, it still isn't quite clear to her how happy Carl is with his life. Not bothering him further would probably be best, if he starts to avoid taking this way to work, then it would make it harder to observe his personal life later. She returns to thinking on her own, but takes glances at Carl periodically.

Therapists like me can't exactly help you in any direct way, so if it's not a problem of mindset, but rather the situation around you, then you have to be the one to take initiative and get to a safer place. That's... really all I can say with what you've given me."

"There... will always be problems in the world. That's the truth of living, it's impossible to not face hardships, and I get why it seems like the way that you approach it has no bearing on the problems you face. But the goal here isn't to rid your life of issues, it's to find a way to deal with them that works for you. If the world's problems feel uncontrollable, then we shouldn't give up control of what we can change."

It's unfortunate that I can't explain to her that Michelle will be happier now than she could've been if I'd left her alone to suffer more. It's a hard thing to understand, and before I could attempt to explain... she would just report me for the crime. Oh well, this isn't impossible to work around, but first I'll need to pretend as if I don't know what she means." "Right, it was Michelle that referred you to me, wasn't it? Since you listened to her, I assume that means the two of you are pretty close. Has something come between your friendship since then? If you're comfortable sharing, of course."

"...Is there really nothing I can do to help her in this state? It's impossible to address the problem with her refusing to admit it, and guessing what happened would seem suspicious no matter the excuse I give. But I can't just move onto another problem; grieving a death is something that takes precedence over all other issues. I suppose I can just try to nudge her in the right direction." "Well, if you feel that way, then I can help set you up with a different therapist, you have no obligation to meet with me. Since you're here, though, I would like to help you the best that I can. And my recommendation, just on what you've given me, would be to talk to any mutual friends the two of you have. If you don't want me to hear you out, then lean on the shoulder of someone who's proven they'll be there for you in the past. Michelle is a kind person, and even if something happened between the two of you, I'm sure she doesn't want you to make yourself miserable over her."

"Shut up! Just shut the fuck up!" She held back tears. "It doesn’t matter what she wanted to me to feel! She’s dead! And she’s not coming back! So what she wanted me to feel doesn’t matter, because she can’t want anything anymore. So stop acting like you know everything about her!"

"..." Carolyn takes a deep breath. "There we go, that went better than I could have anticipated. I just wanted her to find a support system, but now that everything is on the table, I can start helping her find happiness once again. First, though, I should make sure she calms down. In a state like this, I doubt I could get through to her. It is a tad ironic that the greatest obstacle in helping her happened because I had to help someone else... I suppose it just shows how unavoidable suffering is while alive." Carolyn keeps a somber expression and responds after a few moments "I apologize, I had no idea. You're right, I was projecting desires onto her, and disrespecting her memory. The death of a friend is deeply emotionally taxing, so I'm proud of you for keeping yourself together as much as you are, but I'm even more proud of you for admitting the cause of your sadness. I understand that you probably need a minute to yourself, you can feel free to stay here or leave, whatever you think best for your health."

"...Ending your suffering isn't that easy, I'm afraid. There's no shortcuts. If you were hit by a car, then the you that exists now will be all that ever can exist of you. I don't know what you want, Grace, but what I want is for you to be the you that you can be happiest with. It's not about obsessing over every choice or minimizing regrets. You can't focus on that. I'm sorry to say this, but a life spent trying to avoid suffering is a life that can never address the suffering that's already happened. Once you accept what happened, once you find happiness again, the regrets will naturally disappear, because they'll have gotten you to where you want to be."

"Maybe I’d have bought your shit before, but you’re too late doc. There’s always going to be more and more suffering. Pretending I’ll ever be happy for more than a second is a complete lie.

"Of course, you're completely right. If I tried to tell you I had a way for you to live without suffering, it would sound like I'm inviting you to a cult. Michelle's gone, and we can't change that, and there will always be more and more things to tear us down in the future, but I want you to trust me when I tell you that before she died, she really was happy. There's no way to live with happiness forever, but you can find it, even if just for a fleeting moment. I'm not claiming I can guarantee you'll reach that happiness, but it is possible, and would it really be better to live without at least trying?"

Carolyn takes a moment to reflect on the appointment and then begins jotting down notes of everything she can recall Grace saying, in case she needs to review it later. "I wonder if I pushed her too hard today, it's difficult to know when to stop trying to help. It's unfortunate that so few people understand what it means to be truly happy. Grace is so close, but she's viewing my practice as if I'm not aware they'll be miserable again shortly. If only I could tell her that that's why I extend it forever... Oh well, worry about what's feasible. I certainly don't blame her, realizing that living inherently results in suffering is something that many are blind to, so getting this far makes her wiser than most. It just makes it difficult to help her when it appears like there's no escape, but maybe the seeds I planted today will be remembered when she calms down, it was probably better than not letting her vent, at least. For now, I can only hope she schedules another appointment. There's no real point in following her home today, it doesn't look like she'll get better soon. My time finding my next target is probably best spent elsewhere for now." Carolyn finishes writing her notes and places the notebook in her desk. She sighs, that was a difficult conversation, but she managed to get everything across in the best way she could. She checks her phone for the time.

"Well, I have the rest of the day free. I could spend the rest of it people-watching to look for a new target... Or I could focus on one of those two I met yesterday. Carl did seem a bit more upset today, so it's possible he isn't happy enough to be ready for me to extend his emotions forever, and stepping in myself would mean becoming friends with him, which might make me a suspect in his murder. It's much safer to observe those that aren't my patients from a distance. In that case, I suppose I might as well check in on my other option." Carolyn opens a browser on her phone and visits the Twitter page that Lelouch told her about yesterday, @MaoMao. "Hm, well, when I talked with Lelouch, she said using this website was therapeutic for her, but she seems to be getting harassed by a user. I wonder if it's just playful banter, though? She does seem to have been sending posts about being lonely, perhaps getting a girlfriend is what she needs to be happy? Of course, romance isn't something that can make problems go away, but if she wants it this much, it should make her happy enough for me to target her. Either way, she doesn't seem to be at the peak of her happiness at the moment. Knowing where she lives should help me help her once she does reach a happier state, so there's no problem there." Carolyn puts away her phone. With her patient having stormed out, there's no real point in staying here any longer today. She heads out of the building.

Carolyn exits the building and decides to head to the closest park to do some people-watching, as neither of her current prospective targets have strong enough evidence to suggest they're ready for her help. Even if she wanted to focus on them, there's not much she could do to gather information in the middle of the day without knowing their locations.

"That man... I've seen him a few times these past couple of days, haven't I? If I know a spot he frequents and a route he takes in the morning, that could be useful. Really, it would be nice to focus my efforts on someone of his age, he doesn't have much time to regain any lost happiness from what could challenge him in the future. I just hope life hasn't been too hard on him already... Since I don't have an active target, I suppose I could follow him around for the day, but maybe talking just this once to hear out his attitude would be useful." Carolyn approaches the old man, a genuine smile held up on her face "Hello there, I noticed you were here alone, and was wondering if you'd like some company?

What could I have done now to cause him to do this? I'll... figure out my next move later, right now I just need to respond naturally."

Carolyn stands there for a moment and then sits down where the man used to be, needing a moment to collect her thoughts. "Well that was certainly... a foreboding way to leave. He's being strangely explicit about following me, and with that remark, there's really no doubt that he was. But why would he clue me in? If he knows about the people I've killed, wouldn't he want to report me to the police rather than confront me? Well, I guess I can't rule out that he's on the force himself, but that still doesn't explain why he wouldn't wait until I'm arrested to try to get something out of me. I was the one who approached him, but he could have just played it off normally, what does he think he'll gain by doing this? Does he not fear how I might respond? Maybe he knows my MO well enough to know I wouldn't attack him without any idea of his mental state, but how? Thinking about this isn't really getting me anywhere, I just need to lie low for a bit, that's all. It will hurt to not truly help anyone for a while, but it's better than not being able to help anyone again. The problem is if he has evidence of a previous crime... I don't exactly have solid alibis, nor did I plant anything to pin it on someone else. Doing that once was really just one too many, no one should have their life ruined like my father's was. I suppose I just have to hope that doing my best to not leave evidence behind was enough, and see what happens." Carolyn, having her plans of finding a suitable target dashed, decides to head home for the day. (edited)

Well, I want to believe that's all it is, but the timing is... concerning. If the average person knew someone had broken into their house, I'm sure they'd call the police, but I shouldn't risk them poking around my place. Nothing I own is illegal, but it's certainly suspicious. I suppose I should make sure I understand the situation before I make any judgement calls."

The sight makes Carolyn's blood run cold. She quickly heads back to close the door, keeping her hands on the envelope. "Edlightenment... The mass murder... But they arrested... They have their culprit... Why would... Who... And now... But... It was for them..." Her thoughts are a jumbled mess, she was on guard to protect herself from accusations of her recent murders, but this was different. She begins looking through the case file to see if there's any kind of evidence in there that she was behind it.

The first thing of note, is a picture of Carolyn and her father. Carolyn looks about 15 years old, and her father is smiling happily. Behind them, is the red car with the same license plate.
1:48 PM
The second thing of note is that the file names the detectives in charge as Howard Scott and Gus Amon. The latter's name was never brought up to you, and you've never heard of this detective.
1:52 PM
The final thing of note is that the file contains several pieces of evidence that clearly point to Carolyn's guilt. All of these are labelled Do Not Use In Trial, and are the only copies in existence.

Carolyn Blythe 7/8/2022 2:47 PM
Carolyn is kind of starting to freak out. She takes a seat at her table and just thinks about this. "Okay... Okay... There's no need for concern, I have the evidence right here, I just need to destroy it, and I can stop worrying. But... no, that's not what's important here. That car... Gus Amon... Could that be the old man? It would explain how this file was delivered here, but why would he do that? It can't be to taunt me, it's just handing it over, it's not even a threat. And all of this evidence, I thought Detective Scott might've known, but to just purposefully hide this... What did my father do to deserve that? I can't throw stones, but he was just trying to help the other members... No, no, I'm getting sidetracked. Figuring this out can come later, I need these gone, now. I don't have a lighter, and I wouldn't want to set off the smoke alarm anyway. And just throwing it away wouldn't guarantee anything..." Carolyn heads to her bathroom, and begins methodically ripping up the file and flushing the scraps down her toilet. She feels bad that she's flushing something not meant to degrade in water, but finding somewhere outside to dispose of it might mean being stopped by the old man before she can.

Nothing's changed, I just need to lie low. Though, knowing that someone can get in here... I should be ready to defend myself, just in case worst comes to worst." Carolyn heads to her bedroom and gets out one of her guns, making sure to use a glove to handle it still, and places it beside her bed for quicker access. Having addressed all of her worries she feels she can find a solution for, she tries to relax for the rest of the day. Without a goal to focus on, it's hard to feel comfortable, but she passes the time gazing out the window at the people below and reflecting on the day, as she usually would. She does this until it's late enough to turn in for the night, unless she's interrupted.

And if that man really is a detective... I didn't remove the bullets from my victims or anything... No, again, what would be the point of stealing it in secret? He could just perform a search after my arrest. Maybe he just wants me to stop? Why not take everything then? It's not like I always use a gun, so if he figured out the victims are connected... No, I just can't make sense of it. What's important right now is that without my guns, I might not be able to protect myself here... But I don't exactly have anywhere else to stay, and even if I did, he could just follow me... Wait, but he'd only know to follow me if I left the building, if I stay somewhere else in here, I'd still be safe..." Carolyn pulls out her phone. She would like to create a Twitter account and send Lelouch Maoziwam a DM. How do I do this.

Having received no response from Lelouch, and knowing no one else in the building, Carolyn decides to push aside her worries. Surely if she was wanted dead, there would be no reason to mess around with all of this file and stalking business. She calms her fears a bit, but still decides to do her best to barricade her door by moving her kitchen table in front of it, and leaves her bat to the side of her bed. She then does the thing I said before and waits until it's late enough to sleep.

Carolyn looks away from her phone and thinks for a moment "Well, he's clearly delusional... But he is, of course, right that it doesn't make sense for him to kill me here. And really, my options if I don't let him in are just waiting him out, or turning to the police. With that video... my life is over whether he kills me or sends that to the authorities, and if my life is over, so many will go unsaved. My father would obviously never do this, but I can't deny the possibility of him not working alone, so if I incapacitate him here, someone else could just blackmail me with the video. I really don't like this option, but... being cooperative might be the best way to help him, and thus let myself continue to help others."

Next, I call the lock repair/replacement service. If they can arrive quickly, I agree to that; I do not mind being late to work an hour or two since it's an emergency and I haven't been late even once for the last two years. If they can't, I tell them to come around the time I return from work. ((I don't think writing out the entire lock phone call dialogue would have any point but if you want to do it then sure))

Sean Niebel 6/18/2022 2:51 PM
I mentally mark the problem with the lock as solved. I think back to the strange man; I still cannot come up with a coherent explanation for how he could make the police refuse to do anything. It wasn't just one officer, after all. The yesterday evening's events still don't fully register as something that really happened to me. I will try to contact the police later again today, but for now I suppose I should try doing something on my own. At the very least, I want to know if this is really connected to the twitter incident. This is all most likely just a coincidence, but unless I make sure it is, I can't stop worrying about the possibility it isn't. I open twitter and try to find the first #SeanNiebelIsOverParty posts (the very first ones, which were made at the same time). Do any of the accounts seem to belong to the old man (for example, have him in the profile picture)? (edited)

Now that this nuisance is gone, I gather my thoughts and plan the next course of action. Meeting with Maoziwam. Hm. This is unpleasant. I do not care about the consequences this will have for him or this company, but in any case I'll have to say much more words than I'd want to for such a meaningless topic. First of all, I should do some minimal research. If his plans for the meeting are supposed to be public knowledge, but I wasn't aware, that would be unpleasant. I look through his social media accounts. Anything possibly indicating his plans? Or just any notable recent events in his life.

Right. It's been a while since I had to talk like this. I need to avoid my habit of minimising the amount said here. "I apologize, Mr. Maoziwam. With the company doing as good as it is, there is always a lot of things requiring my attention. I must be tired, and it must have had merely slipped my mind. I am sincerely sorry for this mistake, I did not mean to offend you." Is this fine? Could've been said in two words, if not for this meaningless 'politeness'.

Sean Niebel 6/25/2022 4:56 PM
Carl? I see. This is new information, but nothing really surprising. "It is indeed true there are people trying to get this position and I can't exclude the possibility some of them would stoop down to baseless slander, but I believe you won't fall for such simple manipulation and will succeed at rationally choosing the most objectively capable person. After all, an incorrect judgement for such an important position might ruin the entire investment. I am sure you won't let that happen." I look at him and smile back.

I don't even bother turning around. "Reopening it? After that scandal? Not interested." You think I wouldn't know how pointless this idea is? If there was any merit in bringing it back, we would've done that long ago. The statistics are clear: even after all these years, people wouldn't want to go back to the place where that happened. Find yourself another fool to run a business which is doomed to fail. And even if it by some miracle succeeded, what's the point? Getting to this position was a mistake in the first place. As it turned out, there was nothing worth doing even with the power and income of a CEO, so there certainly won't be any point in being in charge of just King Burger.

As I drive home, I think about what happened and what I'm going to do next. I guess I am fired now. Well, technically, not yet. Until he actually buys the company, his words have no real power here. If after saying all that he ended up not buying LeIBLlInc, that would be funny probably. Even if I understand that this position was ultimately of no use to me, I still feel like I lost something significant in my life. After all, I've spent years to get here, and then this position, this job, has been a part of my life for 10 years. What's next... I am not really sure. There's no point in trying to get another job. I have already seen that nothing I do will give me power I need to do anything significant. I have enough money to last a few years, after that... I don't know. I don't have a reason to exist either way. My life or death affects nothing, so... I don't know. (edited)

I also think for a moment about going to the police about yesterday's incident, but decide not to. He probably won't have a reason to break into my house again. What's going to the police even going to accomplish? Catching him? One common thief. Insignificant person. I don't want to get involved in all this any further. Let fictional detectives solve police conspiracies, I don't care. I just don't want to think about him.

Once you die, will your name be any more important to them than the names of any irrelevant people they've met in their lives? And then, what next? Your children will remember your personality, your grandchildren will remember your name, and what next? The generation of your descendants that never met you won't know about you. They won't care. And once these two or three generations who remembered you die, your existence will be erased forever."

"You have built up a name for yourself in the form of Leiblinc. As long as the brand exists, your name will be associated with it — as it stands now, however, you will not be its face. How does the name Wozniak sound, compared to Jobs? A hard-working man is shafted in favour of the public face. It does not have to be this way, however. You can still pull from the deal and prevent Maoziwam from usurping what must've taken years to build." (edited)

Harriet's heart twisted again. After what happened yesterday, she'd resolved herself to not hope for better, but clearly those first 3 sentences, that glimmer of self-awareness, was enough to raise her spirits just a little, only for it to all come crashing down around her again. She kicked herself. "When will I learn? This world will never change for me. I'm just a pebble in this unrelenting typhoon. If I keep waiting for it to calm down, I'll only continue to shred my already meager existence." For as long as she can remember, she hasn't been able to fight back. Being wheel-chair bound is a self-explanatory disadvantage, but even considering other means it was impossible. There's no way she could've afforded a lawyer to litigate what happened yesterday or any the other numerous abuses. Even the stipulation of only having to pay her attorney under the condition she won a suit against Leiblinc, well what would be the point in that. Any compensation for damages wouldn't be sustainable for long. She'd have to end up working at another shithole just like this, after enduing months of legal pain. No, she had to resign herself to it being impossible. Hope would have destroyed her. But today is different. "So let me get this straight. Tucker, you want me to smile?" (edited)

There are unfortunately no conveniently placed objects to bludgeon Tucker with at the moment. But she can at least greatly annoy him. She tells Ghost to press every button for the floors on the way to the CEO's office and then leave the elevator. "Suit yourself."

“He kind of slipped it on me by accident too before swearing me to secrecy. So um, Leiblinc is downsizing in response to recent scandals and this entire floor is being let go. They’re converting it into storage I hear.” Tucker places all of his self worth in his scope of control. If she can manage to disrupt that, even a little, by getting them to walk out with her, then that might be her greatest victory yet today.

While I am handing out the characters everyone knows let it be known that EVERYONE is aware of a rich guy named Shuichi Maoziwam(I obviously did not name him). He is a rich guy who lives in town and has the online presence of (this is only a spoiler if your character doesn't use twitter and stuff)like a cross between Elon Musk and Ted Cruz. If you don't know what this means just imagine a pathetic guy who really wants you to think he's cool but also has moments of incomprehensibly funny things when he's trying to be serious.

"Really now?" Shuichi looked at Harriet like she was an object. "Not exactly great hiring work. It would take far too much difficulty for someone like her to blend into a crowd." "Is that... a bad thing?" Carl. "Of course it is. Look at you. Monochrome clothes, dull hairstyle, forgettable personality. Simple motivations. An absolutely normal person, fit to blend into the background where you belong." Shuichi's tone wasn't overly mean or arrogant, it was just plain disinterest. "Y-Yeah I am, uh. Pretty awesome at... Blending things." Carl.

Harriet Kadin 7/8/2022 1:05 PM
That caused a twinge a sympathy to sprout in her. Tucker was a lot of things but dull and i memorable? She didn’t exactly agree with that. This Maoziwam was on another level. Tucker’s hate at least acknowledged her as a person. Maoziwam is standing here looking right through her. A disinterested gaze so powerful it makes one want to believe that they really are just an unimportant pebble compared to such a mountain. “Um, I was just on my way out actually.” She says sheepishly, heading towards the elevator.

Harriet is not much of a music head. Obviously she's heard a couple of those songs that everyone has to have heard but otherwise it's not really a hobby for her. So when she has to think of something music related for this name, whatever has had popular buzz is what comes to mind. "Ghost? Nothing sounds familiar how about, dead... or phantom? Phantom of the Opera? Does that count? It's an opera though... and I don't think that fits theme at all. You're not a zombie, you're not a vampire... Corpse? You are bloody. Oh there's that movie, The Corpse Bride. No wait, music, this has to be music related." And then she has a realization. Something she saw online starts to take form in her mind from the recesses of her memory. "You're wearing a suit, so not bride. Corpse... Husband? I think that's a music guy. What do you think?"

Maybe JoJos is a bit fantastical after all. She's getting ready to go home when she remembers that there's another strange phenomenon she'd been feeling the past couple of days. Back to the books she goes, wondering what would cause her to have those urges to take actions that don't seem to be her own.

She doesn't want to work for Leiblinc and almost nowhere else around cares about hiring her. Is she going to be homeless? Can she steal? No she can't steal. Not from the other commonfolk just trying to make a living. It would be nice if she could empty Shuichi Maoziwam's riches into her pockets but that's impossible. How is she going to get her hands on some money?! Her mind flashes back to what Alexei did earlier. Maybe it doesn't need to be her hands... "Fine. This will be the last time I go back to Leiblinc." She thinks. She's going to take Sean Niebel's money.

The fungus nods at Fritz. "That sounds fun. Would you like to walk there?"
5:11 PM
He gives an unconvincing smile.

"Of course. Sounds simply splendid."

Grobber's eyelid twitches as he takes his hand off the knife block. He walks to the door and opens it. (edited)

"Yes?"

Grace immediately wrapped her arms around Grobber and began sobbing.
Avatar
"Mmmm? Hmmm?" Grobber is taken aback. "Wh-what? Did something happen?"
Avatar
Grace didn't respond.
5:24 PM
Fritz stood to the back of the room, smiling politely as always.
Avatar
Grobber swivels around to Fritz and says "T-this is my... friend, Grace... uh..." "Grace, I guess I've told you about my neighbor, Fritz...."
5:26 PM
"Um.... uh..."
5:26 PM
He takes a few moments before patting Grace on the back. "T-there, there..."
Avatar
Grace moved away, and crashed onto the couch, still crying.
5:26 PM
"Well, your lady friend seems rather upset." Fritz.
Avatar
Grobber looks at Fritz, biting his lip, and then sighs, as a tension that was built up in the room goes away. "Yeah." He gnashes his teeth together a little while looking over Grace, head tilted. "...D-do you need a place to stay?"
Avatar
Grace's crying eventually quieted down slightly. "Yeah… Yeah, that'd be nice. Sorry…"
Avatar
He nods, and tries to stop himself from looking up at Fritz. "That's fine... I guess."
5:37 PM
"It's okay..."
5:37 PM
He sighs, and his shoulders fall. He rubs his face with his hands.

"Something the matter, Grobber?"
Avatar
"T-there is just so much."
5:47 PM
"I spend so much time trying to feel good, and yet I still feel bad."
5:47 PM
He looks at Grace and he runs a hand through his greasy hair.

"Well, life can be hard sometimes." Fritz "Life's always hard. Some lunatics just try anyway, even if there’s no purpose. I’m done! I’m done!" Grace.
5:50 PM
"What’s the point of living, if you’re going to stay miserable about everything? Why don’t you come wit-" Fritz. "Get him out. GET HIM OUT!" Grace.
Avatar
"Oh. O-oh man, oh... Oh... uhm..." Grobber looks around at the two of them. "Mmm." Grobber turns around and walks out of his front door, and then runs away from the house.
5:53 PM
When he runs out of energy, he starts walking, but he doesn't stop until he reaches a bend in the road, and he turns onto a different road's sidewalk.
5:54 PM
He continues until he finds an outcropping, where he'll walk into the grass or away from the road or something.
5:54 PM
He'll sit down, and start playing Genshin Gay Baby Jail.

Another value of life debate daily. This game is really starting to run out of ideas….

Grobber exits the game and ambles around on his phone. His gaze is caught by the app for the video platform he used yesterday.
5:57 PM
He opens it up, and starts pacing. He walks in circles as he hits record.
5:58 PM
"I... am so tired, of what everyone is saying, and the attitude..."
5:58 PM
"I'm t-tired of people saying that, t-that..."
5:58 PM
"I'm tired."
5:59 PM
"I guess, uhm..."
5:59 PM
"I guess everyone says that, y'know, there is a... once we are alive... that the government will keep us alive... that we have a right to life..."
5:59 PM
"But... a-also... sometimes... life sucks. Life is so bad..."
5:59 PM
"My life is t-torture. I hate it. I hate it!"
6:00 PM
"So... um... what good is a right to life?"
6:00 PM
"I want a right... a right to a good life. Y-yeah. A good one. I have a right to a l-life where I feel good. Where I feel..."
6:00 PM
"I have a right to a life where I feel pleasure."
6:00 PM
"...Yeah..."
6:01 PM
"Um.... yeah."
6:02 PM
"I deserve to feel good. Or else my life isn't worth anything at all."
6:02 PM
"I... I fucking."
6:02 PM
"I hate this."
6:02 PM
Grobber finishes the recording and uploads the video, then sits back down.

Grobber replies. "This is incredibly pathetic. I open my heart up for all to see and you become petty and juvenile. I can't say i didn't expect it. You look like a portrait I would draw with my left hand. This is the worst behavior I have ever seen out of anyone in my entire life. You are singularly terrible. You are awful. I hate you. You make me pray for an afterlife so you are finally given a little bit of comeuppance for your actions. This is truly awful. You will never come back from this. I am so jealous of every single other channel that doesn't have to deal with your bullshit. You deserve to be surrounded by people like yourself." He then reports BigBeltoShelkFan for harassment.

He breathes in and out some more and picks up his phone, before ambling home.

Grace was ranting incoherently in another language. Fritz was silent, but his expression was surprisingly unhappy as he clutched his cheek.
Avatar
"Hi."
Avatar
"Alright, I can see I'm not welcome. Anothe time, Grobber." Fritz walked to the door, as Grace sat back down on the couch and held her hands to her head.
Avatar
"Okay." He watches as Fritz leaves. He turns back to Grace. "Hi."
Avatar
"Hey..." She didn't look up.
Avatar
"..." He doesn't say anything as he sits down next to her and then leans his head back.

"..."

"...So... what's up..."
Avatar
"I don't want to talk about it." She breathed heavily.
Avatar
"Yeah." Grobber goes to his room and starts gaming™️.
Avatar
After a short while. Grace entered the gaming room. "Have you... Ever been to therapy?" (edited)
Avatar
"...I tried once, but it was just really embarrassing and gross. I felt bad for a whole week."
Avatar
"Michelle... Did I ever tell you about her?" She sighed. "She convinced me to go for a bit. So I was... I was there, earlier."
Avatar
"No, I dont think you have... you might've... but you could have.... yeah... So you were there before?"
Avatar
"Yeah. Exactly like your old man friend. Fucking..." She looked around trying to find the word. "Fucking delusional. Just... Delusional optimism."
Avatar
"...Yeah." He shakes his head "I honestly don't know how they feel like that. I feel so terrible and other people feel so good. Are we doing something wrong?"
Avatar
"They're just... Lunatics. Or no... It's more like masochists at that point."
Avatar
He shakes his head. "I dont know how it happens. What things have to happen for people to end up like that... crazy."
Avatar
"Michelle used to- is- was like that. I just... Wish I understood her a bit." She wiped the tears out of her eyes. "Anyway... You still... You still got weed?"
Avatar
"Yeah." Grobber goes to pack a bowl. "Yeah, I do."
Avatar
She sat down on the floor and waited.
Avatar
Grobber finishes packing, puts it in the bong, lights it, and takes a long hit.
8:37 PM
Then he passes it.

She like. Takes a hit. Whatever the fuck that means.

"Man." He leans down "I needed this."

"Me too. Let's just... Let's just forget all this shit.... And run fucking wild."

"Cheers." Grobber prepares another bong and offers a toast.
Avatar
"Oh come on, don't just drown your sorrows away!" An unfamiliar girl's voice could be heard.
Avatar
"Wh-what the fuck?" Grobber looks around.
Avatar
There is a white dog at the door.
8:48 PM
"What is it?" Grace.
Avatar
"...there's a... goddamn dog, man." He looks back at his bong. "...this shit's laced?"
Avatar
"What? What dog?" Grace. "I am Ehn!" The Dog.
Avatar
"...man." He leans back. "...man, this is b-brazy..."
Avatar
"Huh...? Why are you the only one who can see me? I was trying to make the deal with her... This is annoying." Ehn.
Avatar
Grobber looks at the dog. "It's because you're like-" He takes a hit. "You're a fucking, like- spirit man. Subjective reality type beat."

"Yeah, I know." Ehn. "What the fuck are you... Talking about?" Grace.

"There's a g-goddamned dog I see, man... I see a dog."

"I am Ehn." Ehn "No shit, man... You're high." Grace. (edited)

"Yeah... hi Ehn."

"So have you ever thought about... Magic? I kinda planned a pitch for her but I'll deal with you first." Ehn.

"...No. Magic is not real." Grobber states up front.

Ehn walked through a wall and back. "Does that help?"

He smiles a little bit. "You're like..." he laughs. "A high... ghost, man."

"Did I really have to stumble upon you at this time..." She sounded annoyed.

Grobber nods at Grace. "Nah dog, it's fun, it's, uhh...." He leans back and exhales, closing his eyes.

"I'll just come back another time." Ehn moved away. "Your ability's somewhere in this junk, probably."
Avatar
The Fungus 7/9/2022 8:30 PM
Grobber immediately leans back up. "No, no. No. No." He readjusts his glasses. "I can sober up. I'm sobering up. I'm sober." He coughs a couple of times, and refocuses his gaze on the dog. "Okay. Ability."

"Are you really sober?" Ehn. (edited)

Ehn stopped at the bong. "This is probably a terrible idea."
